OUR FAITH SHALL NOT FAIL
And the Lord said,Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31,32
Satan is busy trying to sift us. He uses everyone and everything to attack us, in hopes of disouraging us and destroying our faith. But Jesus is praying for us, and he has determined to sustain our faith. Regardless of life's circumstance, we are divinely sustained in and through every situation. "It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man" (Psalm 18:47, 48). "It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man" (2 Samuel 22:48,49).
Even as great forces rise against you, the Lord will keep you and raise you up above the conflict. He will make your faith strong and secure.
Today, our faith shall fail not.
