In these uncertain times, we all need something solid to stand on. I want to remind you of one unchanging truth: the God kind of faith never wavers.

What is the God Kind of Faith? I’m glad you asked…

There are different kinds of faith in our world today. Some people have no faith at all. Others have the “world kind of faith” – the kind of faith that believes it only when they see it. But as Christians, we’re called to a different standard – the God kind of faith. It is unique. It doesn’t waver, hesitate, or doubt. It’s unwavering regardless of what’s happening around us or what circumstances we face. This is the faith we’re called to live by, and it’s the only kind of faith that pleases God.

The God kind of faith always produces victory. Not sometimes, not most of the time, but ALL the time. It might not look like victory immediately, it might not feel like victory in the moment, but the God kind of faith always leads to victory.

Think about some of the heroes of faith from Hebrews 11:

– Noah built an ark when he’d never even seen rain

– Abraham left his home not knowing where he was going

– Sarah received strength to conceive a child well past her childbearing years

None of these people fully understood what God was doing, but they trusted Him anyway. They took God at His word, not because they could see the outcome but because they believed in the One who made the promise.

We’re not called to understand everything God does or asks us to do – we’re called to trust Him. The Bible tells us that God’s ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). God didn’t tell us to understand Him – He told us to trust Him. Our job isn’t to figure everything out; our job is to be obedient even when we don’t understand – that’s operating in the God kind of faith.

I want to challenge us today to be more like King David and praise God regardless of our situation – whether we’re entering a storm, in the middle of a storm, or coming out of a storm. Even during his challenges, King David knew where to put his trust. When we spend time in God’s presence – praising Him, worshiping Him, communicating with Him – it takes our minds off the storms around us. Before we know it, the storm has passed, and we’ve made it through by the power of faith.

Have you ever felt like you’re searching for something more in life? Like there’s a level of peace, joy, and fulfillment that seems just out of reach? Well, let’s explore Jesus’ powerful words from John 10 about finding the abundant life He promises.

Throughout John 10, Jesus used a simple but profound illustration about sheep, shepherds, and thieves. He said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” So, whose voice are we following? Our world is busy, filled with so many voices competing for our attention. We must learn to distinguish God’s voice from all others. In contrast, the thief “comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” There are influences in our lives that may seem harmless but ultimately rob us of peace, joy, and purpose. The “thieves and robbers” Jesus warns about aren’t just obvious dangers – they’re often subtle deceptions that lead us away from God’s best for our lives. Learning to distinguish between these voices is essential for experiencing God’s best.

Jesus states in John 10:9, “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.” Then He adds, “I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” Think about that promise for a moment. Jesus isn’t offering just survival or the bare minimum – He’s offering us abundance! Not necessarily material wealth, but a richness of life that goes beyond our circumstances. When we try to find fulfillment through any other “door” besides Jesus, we end up disappointed. Whether it’s career success, relationships, entertainment, or even religious activity without relationship – none of these can deliver the abundant life that only comes through Jesus.

So how do we enter through this door to abundant life? It starts with a simple decision to trust and follow Jesus. But it continues as a daily choice to listen for His voice and obey His leading.

This includes practicing spiritual disciplines like:

– Reading God’s Word regularly to learn His voice

– Spending time in prayer to strengthen your relationship

– Being part of a church family for encouragement and growth

– Giving generously as an act of trust and obedience

When we follow God’s principles – even when they don’t make sense to our natural thinking – we position ourselves to receive His abundance. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
