Living by faith

Galatians 3:11 “… The just shall live by faith”.

We continue our meditation on the above text. If the just lives by faith, then it means we are not to wait until we have problems to know if we have faith. 

We need to know what it is to live by when there is a trouble and when there are no troubles. When you live by this when trouble comes, faith will ‘spring out’ to answer for you.

“Bow down thine ear, and hear the words
of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them deep within you to have them all ready on your lips” Prov. 22:17-18

In the amplified it translates the last statement thus “…your lips accustomed to [confessing] them”

What is the end result of doing the above? 
Proverbs 22:19 “So that your faith may be in the Lord…” (The Bible is Basic English).

When you live like it is stated above (Prov.22:18-19) you will result in verse 19. Then faith will answer for you in times of trouble without struggle because you live by it.

Confession:

My ears are attending to the words of life and my lips are accustomed to speaking them
