1 Thess. 5:8 "But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet"
I often forget that I'm engaged in warfare. It's a real battle with real weapons and real conflict. I want to be a solider for Christ--disciplined, well trained, devoted, and prepared. Faith and love serve to protect my heart, hope protects my mind.
I just saw it: faith, hope, and love--again!
Lord, help me live in faith, hope and love. I give into despair, doubt, and apathy so quickly. I've been so worried about my future career (what will happen when our culture turns on biblical faith). I've been so pessimistic. But faith, hope and love bolster me and assure me that God has won the war. My family's future (and mine) is secure in Christ Jesus.
Help me gather strength from that assurance.
