Life on earth for the Believer is a perpetual spiritual journey along a hidden path. A path specifically crafted by God with winds and turns and treasures as only He knows. The Believer walks this path of the unknown, learning how to move within a spiritual rhythm of trust and faith.
This journey of being led through trials and tests designed to stretch our souls requires us to build habits that build our faith and reinforce this trust. For these habits that are built out of great adversity are the elements to creating strong and endurable soldiers on the battlefield of life.
When you consider and reflect upon those who the world would deem great, whether that be in sports, academics, or business, there are characteristics that ring true among them. They are people who have developed practices they learn to perfect over time. They become a people of great accomplishment because they have become competent in harnessing their pain and strategizing through obstacles to propel them to triumph.
So it is as a child of God. Many are the afflictions that face the life of those committed to the ways of Christ. With each opposition or difficulty, they lean and depend on their established habits of faith to increase their resiliency to press through and to overcome. Just like a muscle can operate out of muscle memory, so can the heart and soul of a child of God.
Habits of faith are cultivated through journeys unknown of great tribulations. It is in the times of pressing that children of God fight their minds and their emotions to lean into the word and promises of God.
Although the path of a Believer is undefined and full of affliction, faith is in the DNA. The tenacity to believe and to trust is a habit that is chosen and cultivated on hard battle fields. When a life is fully consecrated and committed to living for God no matter where the roads of life take them, their soul responds out of their habits of faith. Habits that inspire, renew, and equip them to persist on uncharted paths to unknown destinations, with God leading and holding their hands.
Child of God, you are to be commended for your labor and your dedication through the dark places of your life. As you grab your journal today, let your soul speak about the things that have helped you to build your faith and to stay on course. God bless you!
