Living An "Even If" Life

Living an Even If Life

In my last post, I wrote about the "even if" faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, which led them to stand before King Nebuchadnezzar and declare that no matter what, even if God did not save them, they would continue to trust and follow Him.

Now, I want to take a look at what it means for us to live our lives with that same attitude of confidence and trust in God, regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in.

We already have been reminded that our God is the almighty, supreme Creator of the universe and Savior of the world. We know from our study of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that we can trust Him, even when we are in the midst of horrible situations.

But what does that look like? How do we live boldly, with this kind of faith, in our specific circumstances?

An "Even If" Faith

An Even If Faith

Have you ever felt discouraged by the situations in your life? Faced a time where your faith in God was put to the test, and you had to decide whether to continue trusting in Him or to walk away?

Have you ever found yourself in a position where the decision you made to follow God resulted in great sacrifice, whether personal or financial? Maybe even putting you face to face with death?

Are you even now in the middle of difficulty, wondering if there will ever be a way out? Wondering if it is worth it to trust God anymore? Wondering if you can go on another minute?
