The world revolves around the perfect look, most prestigious career, the biggest home, the latest trends, who has the most money, while keeping up the facade of a pretentious success. If all of your faith is built around these ideas, it is false and shallow. None will deepen your connection with Holy, nor feed your spirit.
True faith in God goes against the grain of worldly standards and power driven pleasures. Anyone who is perceived as different in this world is judged as stupid, crazy, or rebellious. Yet, the faithful are following a different way; the Holy Way. It is the only way.
Don’t hold back on your faith in God in this ever changing, hard hearted, and self seeking world.
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household… Hebrews 11:7
