Every morning when I awaken, I am conscious of the fact that I need the grace of God to continue this christian walk and today is no different. The Holy Spirit led me to Romans and it confirms in 1:5 that, "By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name." God has freely dispensed his grace, so today, once again I receive the grace necessary to continue this "Faith Walk" and bring glory to God.
Today, like everyday since I made my way back home, I am faced with a challenge. My challenge this day comes through my Miami renter; Mrs. R, who refuses to pay her rent. Like many, she avoids the phone calls and hides when the rent collector shows up. Yet, I recall her telling me how much of a christian she was, and that she'll always be early with the rent. In 5 months she has not been early once. This is now two months she's still owing me rent. Yet, when I interviewed her, I recall her saying she was a christian woman.
Now I can hear the enemy saying, 'Go down there and change the lock on those door, blah and blah.' However, the Holy Spirit says, 'Pray and handle this in a godly manner so that God will be glorified in your actions.' Some days this 'Faith Walk' tests my faith more than others, so I pray.
I pray that God will give me the wisdom, grace and the faith to walk this through esteeming him highly at all times. I pray that though evil presents itself, I will seek to always do good. I pray that renter pays her rent of get out of my house today.
Pray with me that God will be glorified because I want to always, live the Word.
