Steps of Faith~ 28th Sunday of ordinary time

Lam. 1:1-6: Jerusalem's misery because she sinned including becoming captives to another land.

Ps. 137: Jerusalem people song of woe because they are prisoners in a Babylon.

2 Tim. 1:1-14:I thank God for your godly upbringing. Stay true to your faith no matter what happens to you. 

Luke 17:5-10:  If you have faith as small as a mustard seed , you can do great things./Be a good servant to the Lord.

Like the Israelites who sinned and found themselves in bondage (Lam.1:1-6). We too can find ourselves in bondage.Then like them, we sing a sad song that sounds like crying (Ps. 137).But we do not have to stay in bondage! For through Jesus Christ we can be freed from the bondage of sin (2 Tim. 1:1-2). Then through faith we can do great things for God, no matter how small that faith seems((Luke 17:5-6). Be a good servant of the Lord (Luke 17:7-10). Stay true to your faith no matter what happens to you (2 Tim. 1:6-14). 

Challenge of the week:

So where do you see yourself in these verses? If you have sin that has put you in bondage, repent of it and find victory in Jesus. If you feel as though your faith needs  strengthen ask God for more strength. No matter what stand true to your faith and be a good servant of the Lord.
