A LITTLE BIT SHAKY IN OUR FAITH



















A LITTLE BIT SHAKY
IN OUR FAITH


Are you like me? Do you wake up
SO SURE of your FAITH that
You TRUST GOD in everything
And anything?


YET there are those other days
WHERE your FAITH is a little
Bit shaky-where you WONDER
How to trust God in anything


We are WOBBLING-yet we are
Trying to CONTINUE
To follow God-to FOLLOW JESUS


“Do NOT be afraid-You are WORTH
MORE than many sparrows” Matthew 10:31


We are AFRAID of what
Might happen-we are wobbling
And yet WE FOLLOW


Unsure of ourselves-yet
CONTINUING to move forward


WHAT keeps us going? We MUST
have some deep-rooted FAITH
We BELIEVE-even though-
We are on shaky ground


OUR FAITH in God
Our BELIEF in God
Keeps us going


Albeit a LITTLE bit shaky
In our faith


“Overhearing what they said
Jesus told him-
'Don't be afraid-JUST BELIEVE'” Mark 5:36


“There was a man SENT from God
Whose name was John


He CAME as a witness
To testify
Concerning that light


So that through him
ALL might believe” John 1:6-7


“IF you declare
With your mouth
'Jesus is Lord'


And BELIEVE in your heart
That GOD RAISED him from the dead


You WILL be saved” Romans 10:9


So WHAT keeps us going-
WHEN we are a little BIT SHAKY
In our faith?


What KEEPS us going when
Our faith and OUR LEGS
Are WOBBLING?


It is just that DEEP DOWN
We KNOW we are WORTH IT
We are WORTH
The LOVE OF GOD


After all=HE MADE US


“What is more
I CONSIDER everything a loss


Because of the surpassing WORTH
Of KNOWING Christ Jesus my Lord
For whose sake


I have lost all things
…...........” Philippians 3:8


“These have come
So that the PROVEN GENUINENESS
Of your faith-


Of GREATER worth than GOLD
Which perishes
Even though REFINED by fire


May RESULT in PRAISE-glory
And HONOR when Jesus Christ
Is REVEALED” 1 Peter 7


YES-we MAY be a little shaky
In our faith


But we KEEP moving FORWARD
In the HOPE
Of spending our ETERNITY
In the PRESENCE OF GOD


For God TELLS US we are
WORTH IT-
Worth MORE than many sparrows


For GOD'S WORD
Is all around us


In the NAME of
Christ JESUS OUR LORD
