Commitment In Struggle

" Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”

DEUTERONOMY 8:3

Jesus is always the same. Jesus is God. The Spirit of the most high God dwells in the temple sanctified through baptism and acceptance of the Holy Spirit. This is the flesh of the Lords chosen. Jesus says to trust him in all things.

Man must stop believing circumstances are all based on your own actions. The Lord places all of his children exactly where they need to be. The potter is greater than the clay jars he makes. Fear not of the unknown and take sincere and divine faith and trust in the word of Christ Jesus, and that of the Father - Our Most High God.

Faithfulness in humiliation is the place that God has set for you. It is in the place of despair - in the valley - where your faith is tested. On the mount - in the moments of beaming hope and joy in Christ - is not the place you are meant to live out your faith. On the mount - where the Lord has revealed himself it is easy to believe. In the valley of humiliation true faith is revealed. 

“During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:3-4

“For we live by believing and not by seeing.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-10

“He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
