Some teens have a difficult time
learning how to walk in their faith.
There are a number of things we put our
time and effort into, allowing it to
become our identity. It is easy to
allow our circumstances to define who
we are, or what direction we should
take in life. What we deal with often
allows us to determine the amount of
trust we put into God, but we’re not
always going to have everything figured
out as teenagers. When we exhibit faith
as teens, it allows us to trust God and
be at peace.
It’s hard to have faith, when we as
teens, get so entangled in our daily
lives. As teens, when we set goals
outside of God's will or put our
satisfaction in friendships,
relationship, grades, and sports...we
tend to lose our identity if we're not
grounded in the Word. Like superficial
possessions, those items or events are
fleeting and can fluctuate. So how do
we maintain having faith and wanting
God's best? We cannot allow worldly
decisions to determine our identity.
When we anchor our core beliefs in the
sea of God's Word, we do not falter,
question our identity, or become
stagnant in our purpose. As a believer
in Christ, I challenge each of you to
trust God in everything and allow what
He says to reign. As youth, to walk in
faith, we must trust Him completely.
Remember, faith is trusting and
believing the best even when
circumstances reflect otherwise.
