Yes, Jesus is the reason for the season however, how often has the season with all of its trappings gotten in the way of our faith? Now that the season is over and if we truly want to be greater in 2024, now is the time to get back to the business of faith.
In Hebrews 11 Paul defines faith as the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. He cites the examples of Abel, Abraham, and Isaac as pioneers of faith. However, this roll call of the stalwarts of faith is not an invitation for us to mimic their actions. Rather it is a reminder for us to practice the fundamentals of faith in our lives.
The business of faith calls on us to be in prayer, to study and to teach. The business of faith is a call to be humble and to serve. It is a call to remember and to forgive. The business of faith is a call to demand more of ourselves in every aspect of our lives. And above all, the business of faith is to witness to all that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Faith is not restricted to a season. Faith is our ongoing way of life, like the air we breathe, the food we eat and the people we love. Faith is the essence of who we are, and more importantly who the Lord wants us to be.
So, if the season has gotten you off track the good news is this. Now, is the time to get back to the business of faith.
