If I ever lose my faith in you

Are you lost in a lost world? Did you long ago lose your belief in politicians? Have you lost confidence in the once-trusted people you see on TV who now seem like game show hosts or carnival barkers? It wouldn’t be hard to do, given all the “noise” we must tune out in order to focus our attention on the One who matters most (2 Chronicles 15:4). Perhaps you’ve lost your faith in science or in progress, your belief in the holy church or your sense of direction, but there is one thing you must never lose… your faith in God. Those who would seek to take you down will draw you in with deception and false promises (Jeremiah 9:6), leading you to a place where final death awaits. There is no miracle of science that didn’t go from a blessing to a curse or a military solution that didn’t end up as something worse for the one who has no where else to turn, no other place to go, or no one else to trust. Without faith, there would be nothing to live for (Hebrews 11:6). Without faith, there would be nothing left to do. In accepting Him, we are given a most generous gift of faith from a loving God who locates the lost and guides them safely home.
