Are You Being Discouraged By Someone Else's Outcome or Are You Trusting God For The Outcome You Need?

How often do you start off believing God and allow the pain or disappointment of others to hinder your faith?   How often do you look at how something turned out for someone else and start thinking that "may" be your outcome and fail to trust God for His best?   How often do you ride the coattails of someone else's failure instead of looking at the examples that God gave us in the Bible of men who "lived" by faith?  

It's time to stop allowing the pain, hurt, and disappointments of others to cause you to fail to walk in faith.   God told us in His Word that the just are to live by faith.    Faith is complete trust and confidence in someone or something.    Where is your faith?   Who or what have you put your complete trust and confidence into?   Is it in God?   Is it in what He has said that He will do or is it in what you think you can do on your own?  

We have to know which examples to follow.   We have to follow examples of faith.   We have to follow those who are examples that show us how to place our trust and our hope in God no matter what is going on in our lives.   As we begin to walk in faith, we have to understand that we then become the examples for others to follow.
