Hi! and happy good Thursday to all of us, GUYS. Our "food for the soul" today:
THE GOOD NEWS (26 January 2017)
"For its sake I now suffer this trial, but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed and I am convinced that HE is capable of taking care of all I have entrusted to HIM until that day." - 2 Timothy 1:12
(HE is capable of taking care of all I have entrusted to HIM. These words invite us to remember exact meaning of the word "faith." In Hebrew, for the Old Testament, the word "faith" had the same root as "to be firm," or "to lean on something." In Greek, the word that has become "faith" signifies both the trust that could be had in a debtor, and the guarantee given to the creditor. So Paul considers all his apostolic life as the deposit he has placed in GOD's hands. Like Paul a person of faith is not deceived by the mirages of a happy life but prefers to use his life in an often thankless labor and persevere as if he already saw what couldn't yet be seen [Hebrew 11:27].)
