Living the Gospel: A Daily Journey of Faith and Practice (01/13/'24) #61

Living Gospel: A Daily Act of Faith In faith, we find our shield, our guiding light, Not just an end, but in our daily fight. As dry wood thirsts for flame, or water flows, Downhill to where the lowest ground it knows, So too, our souls, in faith, must firmly stand, Embracing gospel truths with heart and hand. Like birds that seek the forest's sheltering trees, Or finest fare, if left, attracts the bees. It's not enough to hear and then agree, But in each act, the gospel's truth to be. Our deeds, not words, should mirror Heaven's song, To keep our paths from straying into wrong. Each day, to live the gospel, we must strive, In every thought, in every act, alive. Let faith take root, in every part it weaves, For in its practice, the believer breathes. -Pastor Steven G. Lee (January 13, 2024)
