Day 14 | Faith that inspires

Your Faith isn’t just what we believe—it’s how we live. When we live by faith, we give others a model and invitation to follow.

Today's Family Moment

 

Faith isn’t just what we believe—it's how we live it out. When we live by faith, others can see it and be encouraged to follow God, too.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown
hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Keep your lives free from the
love of money and be content with what you have, because God has
said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with
confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Hebrews 13:1-8 (NIV)


REFLECT ON THE WORD

People will remember more of what you do than what you say. When we think about passing the flame of faith to others, what we say doesn’t matter nearly as much as who we are. 

Who we are is determined by the thousands of little actions we take each day that make up our character.

Hebrews 13:1-8 confirms that an inspiring faith is made visible through concrete actions: hospitality, compassion, integrity, marital faithfulness, generosity and unwavering trust in God. Hebrews says that a leader’s life and their outcome should be so attractive and appealing that others will want to imitate it. Whether a leader or not, a consistent, loving and persevering life of faith has multiplying power because it is attractive. This kind of practical faith becomes a guide for those around us especially for the next generation. Paul says to Timothy, “Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity” (Tim 4:12b). 


A life like this doesn’t need to force influence—it attracts, shapes and transforms. We live in a world searching for trustworthy role models. Faith lived authentically is a light others can follow. 


This faith is not based on fleeting emotions but on the unchanging character of Christ: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” 

(Heb. 13:8).


Passing the flame is more than delegating responsibility it is igniting hearts with 

the faith that sustains us. 

May our lives reflect a living, inspiring and contagious faith.

PRAYER + CONTEMPLATION

  1. Reflect on how your lifestyle communicates your faith to those who observe you, especially to the next generation and unbelievers.
  2. Pray for wisdom and consistency to live a life of faith that is an example and a testimony. Pray that God would reveal to you any areas of your life that might need to change.
  3. Pray for the young people and new disciples in your community, that they may be strengthened by witnessing authentic faith lived out before them. 
  4. Pray that your church community will be a good witness of faith to the next generation and to those who don’t yet believe.

Under The Rug

UNDER THE RUG Story by Job Leon on 2/13/2025 My life began to change in 1987, after being “Born Again.” The process has been a long and bountiful experience. It did not happen all at once. As scripture states, it is line upon line, precept upon precept. That is how it was for me. I learned to see that I needed to change my ways of thinking, believing, and behaving.   It was all the beautiful work of God’s Holy Spirit within me that made and continues to make the necessary changes in my life. It has been about 38 years now and I can share with you the positive things that took place in my life, once I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. The truth about what is good and what is bad, I will share with you. •     I learned to “love” others. I did not know about love because in my childhood there was not much hugging or “I love” you said out loud. I learned to love others and now have a heart of compassion to mentor other women. •     I saw the look of “finality” in the eyes and speech...

Psalm 13:6

Psalm 13:6 “I will sing to the LORD, because He has dealt bountifully with me” Aww, beautiful verse from psalm 13:6 by David. This is his closing line after he has struggled with waiting on the LORD. David is surrounded with trouble on every side, and continues to cry out to his God, “how long O LORD will you forget me? “O LORD my God, how long will You hide your face from me”? Have you felt lost and confused as to why circumstances you’ve prayed for, are still the same?   Your prayers of salvation .. prayers for deliverance … prayers for healing .. prayers for prodigals to return to the LORD .. Meditate on this verse and let it fill your heart with understanding  .. Psalm 13:6 “I will sing to the LORD, because He has dealt  bountifully with me”
