Title [2.1] Living with Creative Faith
content living life
(Genesis 1:1-5)
Even if our life doesn't go the way we wanted it to, it is meaningful in itself to try to live something new in our daily lives. So, what is the attitude of faith that we really need in our lives? It's 'Top 丹? When you have a creative faith, you can create 'light' rather than 'darkness', 'order' out of 'chaos', and 'history of life' in 'emptiness'. So, what kind of people do people with such creative beliefs look like? Today's text reminds us of three things.
1. Those who have a tower will live with expectation.(5)
In the Bible, a day starts with ‘evening’ and ends with ‘morning’. This is a message that tells us to live in anticipation and hope, remembering that a brilliant morning will come no matter how dark our reality is. The truth is that after a dark night, a bright morning always comes! To believe in this is creative faith. Ex) ‘Paul and Silas’ in the Philippian prison
2. People of creative faith set clear goals.
From the first day of creation, God had a clear goal and accomplished creation according to the plan of creation. Likewise, a person of creative faith always lives with clear goals. The goal we set at the beginning of 2009, that is, our goal that is in harmony with God's heart, is being fulfilled by God. When God created the heavens and the earth, the repetition of the record of “it was so” tells us that God’s word will be as it is. When we have a goal in our hearts and work towards it, God will help us achieve it. It is God's work to fulfill and fill. What we need to do is to open our mouths and our hearts to God and our faith (Psalm 81:10).
3. Tower 湛? A person lives by the power of the Word.
The most common phrase in Genesis 1 is “God said”. This means that the Word and language have power. (Hebrews 11:3/Psalm 33:6/Proverbs 18:21/Numbers 14:28) So, no matter how difficult or irritating life is, there are things to say and things not to say. . At one word from our parents, our children live and die. Bless your children with your words. Encourage people with your words. Our people must abandon the saying, “I am going to die.” Our ‘language of faith’ has the power of creation. God gives power to those words.
In 2009, God gave us a wonderful year. Those who have a truly creative faith are those who live confidently by proclaiming and confessing their faith, believing in the power of words, with a heart that does not lose hope in God, a heart that does not lose hope, I pray in the name of the Lord that life, a life that is good in the sight of God.
