His Faith is Everywhere


"Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds." (Psalm 36: 5)
We live by the faith of the Son of God, that cannot be repeated enough:

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2: 20)

His faith helped heal a man in the Book of Acts:

"And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all." (Acts 3: 16)

The same faith that animates us is also everywhere around us, according the Psalmist.

This faith is working in because God's mercy, in sending His Son to die for us and live through us, connects us with the vast, incalculable reservoir of His faith all around us, which holds the universe together:

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." (Colossians 1: 16)

Do not fall for the limitation that his faith only works in you, but outside of  you His faith is void and barren. Because everything is yours through Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 3: 23), and through through Him we can do all things (Philippians 4: 13), draw on the Lord Jesus Christ who lives in you and works outside of you.
Trust that he is all around and working in you – and that His faith is working for you on the outside, too!
