Devotional
Day 1: Faith is a Choice
Faith is not a passive acceptance of God's will, but an active choice to believe in His promises and to live according to His word. It is a decision to trust in God's goodness and power, even when circumstances seem to contradict His promises. It is a commitment to live by faith, not by sight, trusting in God's unseen reality rather than the visible circumstances. [07:11]

Faith is not just about believing in God, but also about taking responsibility for our actions and decisions. It is about owning our faith and living it out in our daily lives.

Day 4: Faith is Speaking
Faith is not silent, but speaks out in declaration and prayer. It is about using our words to align with God's promises and to bring about His will in our lives. It is about speaking life, hope, and truth into our circumstances, and declaring God's goodness and faithfulness over our lives. [44:31]

Faith is not just for the moment of salvation, but for the journey of life. It is the sustaining power that keeps us going, even in the midst of trials and tribulations. It is the anchor that holds us steady, even in the stormiest seas. It is the assurance that God is with us, even when we can't see Him. [52:25]
Bible Passage: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Reflection: Reflect on a time when your faith sustained you through a difficult situation. How can you rely on your faith to sustain you in your current circumstances?
