Do you ever feel your faith slipping away? As we face life’s challenges, many times we feel it happening. But that is when we have to hold on. Sometimes opposition can be so severe that our faith seems to fail. But the Bible teaches us to fear not. I find myself sometimes barely holding on by my fingernails. I call that the fingernail hold of faith. Barely holding but still holding on in belief. Our grip gets stronger as we serve the Lord over the years and see how that time and again He comes through for us.
Most people have faith in their mind and reasoning, but deep faith, which causes us to hold on, comes from the heart. Heart faith will hold an never let go. Again, that comes by knowing the Lord in a deep relationship. It will develop over time.The Bible says…
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1, NIV).
“Romans10:17 “... Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”
If today you are hanging on by a fingernail, cheer up, you’re still hanging on.
