Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. ~Heb. 3:12-14 (CEB)
“Faith is such a necessary virtue: unless you teach your moods ‘where they get off.’ You can never be either a sound Christian or even a sound atheist, but just a creature dithering to and fro, with its beliefs really dependent on the weather and the state of its digestion. Consequently one must train the habit of Faith.
The first step is to recognize the fact that your moods change. The next is to make sure that, if you have once accepted Christianity, then some of its main doctrines shall be deliberately held before your mind for some time every day. ~From Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
Heavenly Father, Help me to remember this day my original confidence in You. May I not be swayed by passing trials. May I not be effected by moods of uncertainty but step forward in faith. Amen.
