MARCH 5, Galatians 2:20
Today’s verse teaches us that we are to "live by the faith of the Son of God". What does that mean? Read on...
Why do you exist? Have you asked yourself this question? It is good that you know why you exist or why God make you exist in this earth?
Consider the conversation and see if it sounds familiar to you.
Michael: What do you want to be when you grow up?
JW student: When I grow up, I would like to be an engineer or a teacher.
Michael: And after getting a job, what else will you do?
JW student: I’ll marry and have a house.
Michael: What then?
JW student: Have two or three children and live happily together.
Michael: What else might you do?
JW student: I’ll buy a car and also go on holiday with my family.
Michael: Then what?
JW student: I’ll retire early and look after my grandchildren.
Michael: And after that?
JW student: Like everyone, I’ll die.
From the conversation, you have learnt the student’s life is not much more than growing up, getting a good job, making money and trying very hard to be happy. His life is just living to die. Is this the correct way of living? Paul gives us the answer to life and this was the way he had lived his life – ‘live by faith’
How to live by faith? You see, faith believes the Word of the Lord. It believes in the impossible. It believes that God answers prayer. It believes that God forgives sin. It believes God. Think through these carefully and are you doing all these? So, living by faith in God is what God wants us to do. That JW student is not living by faith.
Now, write down what you must do to show that you live by faith:

Thought: Honestly ask yourself if you are living by faith
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me live by faith in God and not in my own strength. I have failed to obey You and please forgive me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
