Faith is the assurance of things we hope for but have not received. Our faith in Christ is grounded in His promise to us through Abraham. We believe because we can see the impact on our lives today that encourages us about our future. It does not mean today is puppy dogs and unicorns, but it does mean that today is leading to a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 16:33<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cI have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Whenever I face a critical issue, I return to a simple truth; \u201cDo I believe what I say I believe?\u201d. Everything is condensed down to this one critical question. When I distill an issue down to the root cause, it always boils down to this; do I trust that Christ is who I say He is, and do I believe He cares the way He says He does?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELIGIOSITY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Let me give you a real-life example from several years ago. I knew someone who owed me money. They asked me to do some work for them, I did it, they acknowledged that I did it, and their client was satisfied with the work. I asked several times over the next year about getting paid without a resolution. He is a professing Christian. He has plenty of money, so he shouldn\u2019t be concerned. Now I am a huge commitment type of guy. I believe you say what you will do, then you do it. It\u2019s not the money; it is the principle of the matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My first thought goes right to righteous indignation:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Proverbs 3:27<\/a>,<\/strong> \u201cDo not withhold good from those to whom it is due when it is in your power to act.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I am owed; you, as a Christian, have an obligation to pay me. So, I start to build my argument. I start remembering bible verses that condemn him and justify me. I pray for the right (passive-aggressive) approach to make him feel guilty if he does not pay. It stopped being about money some time ago. It is now religiosity. I own the high ground. God is on my side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few things I should think about first:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Proverbs 16:2<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cAll a person\u2019s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Proverbs 20:22<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cDo not say, \u201cI\u2019ll pay you back for this wrong!\u201d Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Proverbs 27:19<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cAs water reflects the face, so one\u2019s life reflects the heart.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
What started as a quest to right a wrong has turned into a vendetta. My motivation turned selfish. It is not about getting my wages but proving my religious superiority. It has turned to punish him for not being as good as me. I stopped trying to let God work through this and started dictating the terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAITHFULNESS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Living by faith requires a different approach. When we decide to follow Christ, we commit to allowing Him to lead. This commitment requires a certain level of trust. I believe Christ does not want us to suffer needlessly or without kingdom impact. Therefore, if we must suffer, there is a purpose in the suffering, and that purpose will positively impact His kingdom here on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next question that comes to mind is, at what cost? Who wins and who loses, and by how much? Does evil prosper? The ultimate answer to those questions is in Revelations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revelation 20:10<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cAnd the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And who does this apply to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 John 3:8<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cWhoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
There is an actual price to be paid by those who reject Christ. We must be assured that God will do what He said He would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
APPLICATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When we have been wronged, what should we do? The first thing we should all do when faced with a dilemma is to pray for guidance. It is through prayer that we gain assurance that our faith is rewarded. There are too many permutations of grievances to suggest a one-size-fits-all solution. But, the starting point is always the same. Prayer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also essential to determine where our ego is during this time. Is the grievance material or emotional? Is the wrong subjective or objective? Do I believe God has my best interest in mind, even if I don\u2019t get what I want? Am I advancing my kingdom or His? What do I believe about Christ\u2019s dominion over the world? These are the critical questions, not our perception of right and wrong. God will handle right and wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LAST POINT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The last point is that there are times when we must take advantage of the authority God has established over man to help with worldly issues that broken man can not adequately address. We have laws and governing authorities for that purpose. These are tools for Him to use to help us. They are not tools he has created so that we can punish those we dislike or disagree with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans 13:1-2<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cLet everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Trials will come. That is part of being human in a fallen world. How we face those trials will determine our impact on His kingdom for Him. Our assurance of victory comes through our faith in the victor. We can win the battle but lose the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James 5:11<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cAs you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job\u2019s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.\u201d<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
