                                UNWAVERING FAITH



What is unwavering faith? A faith that is unshakable, a faith that is so strong that it plants your feet solidly on the ground and keeps you standing no matter how the hard wind blows and tries to knock you down!  A faith that stands up to present circumstances and gives you complete reassurance that God is right there with you and will bring you through the fire and lead you to a victorious outcome.  We know that we all will face trials throughout our journey here on earth and many of them may come out of nowhere and attempt to run us over like a locomotive without an engineer!  We are taken right of the the track with it and thrown so far off the path that we can't seem to find our way back to where the collision began.  We struggle to find our footing, because when we were hit by this unexpected circumstance, we landed in a ditch that seemed so deep, we couldn't see the light of day.  Our strength seems to be limited, which affects our attempt the climb out of the darkness......BUT GOD!!  When we look up, fully believing that God is right there, stretching His hand out to pull us from what seems to be an impossible situation, things begin to change!  God improves our vision and gives us the clarity needed to see where we need to place our feet to climb out of that pit of circumstance. He gives us the strength needed to keep moving towards the light, he lifts us up and He leads us away from the catastrophe that landed us in the ditch and shields us from the destruction and confusion that occurred at the point of impact.  God will get us back on track, but we won't return the same.  We will have a different perspective and will see things with new eyes, because we have seen God's miraculous love, strength and power on a very personal level and we know, without a doubt, that whatever life brings from that point on, that God will bring us through it!  We are also now charged with the responsibility of sharing our victorious triumph with others, because there are MANY who will encounter potentially destructive situations like the one we just recovered from and they need to know that they too can make it through!  Our testimony has the power to impact the lives of others and give them hope and build their faith. 
The kind that you now have.......Unwavering Faith!!
