TODAY'S DEVOTION:

This life of faith requires two feet to walk. We live in this tension. On one hand, we go through things and we want to be healed and delivered. We want things to work out, and at times God is delighted to do just that—to provide, to heal, to deliver. So one step of faith is asking for and seeking these things from God.

But with the other foot, the other step that we must take is to understand that this light and momentary affliction is working out for us something of eternal importance. The life of faith often entails learning to walk amidst those two very real tensions, where we hold firm to the promise that God is indeed our healer, our deliverer, redeemer. He will indeed do all that he has promised. And yet at the same time, there very well may be something that he wants to teach us through it. Maybe he will choose to heal you today, and maybe he won’t. But we also know that we will indeed be healed. All of creation will be restored in him, and that day is coming.

In the meantime, whatever the affliction that you’re suffering through, it is momentary, and in the scales of eternity, Paul says they are light. It may not feel like that right here, right now, but faith in God’s goodness helps us to see beyond the right here and the right now. And faith is an invitation to enter into the presence of God. His healing, His deliverance, His redemption isn’t just designated for some distant time. We can begin to experience those things in part even today. God has something he wants to teach us all, and we need to trust him and walk with him through all that life brings us.

He’ll prove himself strong in our weakness. He will be your comforter and your strength.

Walk this way of faith with both feet and trust him each step of the way. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that’s a prayer that I have for you. May it be so.
