"I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go." Isaiah 48:17
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17
There are two elements to faith, and they are found in Hebrews 11:6. The first is to believe that God is real. The second is to believe that He is good. Both are the main battle fronts of our lives. The enemy will flood your life with so much noise of the world that you will either forget about God ("How am I going to do this!") or you will doubt His goodness ("Why are You doing this to me?"). We would be wise to always pray, "Father, help me to remember that You are real and that You are good."
The enemy will never turn you to himself; he will always turn you to yourself: your strengths, your circumstances, your thoughts, your self. It is there where the battle can be lost: God falls away in our minds ("It's all up to me!") and His goodness falls away in our minds ("Look at what's happening to me!"). Always keep Hebrews 11:6 before your eyes: God is, and He is good.
"God who is there,
You are good,
You are good,
And Your Love endures,
Forever..."
