One Bread, One Body - Reflection for September 2, 2024

FOUNDED OR UNFOUNDED FAITH?

"Your faith rests not on the wisdom of men but on the power of God." –1 Corinthians 2:5

Is your faith on a firm foundation? The hearts of many parents are broken when they see their children's faith collapse after the children leave home. Many Christians think their faith is strong until they face tragedies or even death. Many Christians think their faith is on a firm foundation, but the mass apostasy at the end of the world may prove them wrong (see 2 Thes 2:3; Mt 24:10, 12, 22).

If your faith is founded on:

then your faith is not on a firm foundation and will collapse.

However, if your faith is founded on:

then your faith is on a firm foundation and will stand up to anything. "Unless your faith is firm you shall not be firm!" (Is 7:9)

PRAYER: Father, may I move mountain ranges through my faith in You (see Mt 17:20).
PROMISE: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me; therefore He has anointed Me. He has sent Me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind and release to prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the Lord." –Lk 4:18-19
PRAISE: Jesus delivered Don from drug abuse, and set him free to witness in his workplace.
