How can we use faith to rise again?

What kind of faith do we need to have?
#3 Boldly attacking faith

Micah 7:10-13
10 Then she who is my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.
11 In the day when your walls are to be built,
In that day the decree shall go far and wide.
12 In that day they shall come to you
From Assyria and the fortified cities,
From the fortress to the River,
From sea to sea,
And mountain to mountain.
13 Yet the land shall be desolate
Because of those who dwell in it,
And for the fruit of their deeds.

When people come against you and challenge your faith and mock you for your trial, have faith. When people ask you why you are going through something so terrible if you believe in God and have given up everything for Him, have faith. When they mock you for your circumstances, have faith.

There will always be someone who questions your trial, who asks why you are going through something when you have served God. They will tell you that they don’t want to serve that kind of God. They will challenge and mock your faith.

There will be a time when God allows you to go through some trial. But when the time comes, He will also raise you up again. Do not judge God by your circumstances.

God always chooses the weak vessels (1 Corinthians 1:26-30).

God chooses those who don’t make sense. That’s why we can’t overvalue ourselves. We don’t really have anything to brag about. That is the reason that we can be humble. God doesn’t use us because we are powerful, but because we are weak.

When we overvalue ourselves, we hurt one another. We put ourselves above others and treat them badly. But we must recognize that God uses us because we are weak and empty and useless without Him. God uses us because we are dependent on Him. When we have this attitude, we will be very grateful to God.

God chooses the pitiful and foolish. He chooses those who are rejected and despised by the world. God chooses those like Abraham, who are faithful to Him. He chooses those like Jacob, who hold onto their dream in the Lord. He chose Moses because he felt like he was nothing.

When God calls you, pick up the cross that He has for you. Pick up that cross everyday. Don’t drop the cross.

Micah told Israel that they had dropped the cross. Even so, God was willing to forgive and restore them.

God bless you,
