Galatians 3:26 CEB
You are all God's children through faith in Christ Jesus. 
Galatians 3:26 CEB
The Galatian Church had false teaching creeping in & Paul was standing against it. He was reminding the Galatians that it's not bloodline that makes you right with God, and it's not some strict adherence to the law either, but it's faith in Jesus.
No matter what our story includes the work Jesus did for us is enough.
No matter what our bloodline, where we were born, brought up, whether we even know who our parents are or not, no matter who we are, it's faith in Jesus that makes us right with God.
Does that seem too easy?
And yet there were people who literally walked around with Jesus, saw the miracles, who didn't put their faith in Him.
It can be difficult to give up my faith that if I just do enough, am "good" enough, give up my faith in me and place it in Jesus. 
In our churches there is quite an emphasis on "making a step of faith" or that moment of choice, but this letter is written to Christians, in church, so it points to more of an ongoing process, a re-placing our faith in Jesus.
This verse is a great anchor for us as Christians in those times when our faith wavers, our belief wavers, thoughts and emotions push in with different messages...remember, we are God's children through faith in Jesus.
Beloved.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
