Prone To Wonder

Come Thou Fount....such a great hymn. I've come to resort to prayer and worship music when I feel like I need to be thinking about God. Satan's attacks on me have seemling gotten stronger. I have a feeling it is because it is drawing nearer to me leaving for Paris. His battle would be won if I didn't even go to Paris. There would be none that would hear the Gospel from my lips and wouldn't have the opportunity to start worshiping God. I sense his darkness all around, but it is being removed by the light of God. As long as God is on my mind he will protect my heart. Praise God for the people that I have around me who love him too. He has been using them to keep me focused on the task. Three weeks until I leave. Two more weeks of school. Continue to pray for me!! I'm still struggling with faith. Money...why is it that the thought of money plauges us so? I don't know what to write. My mind is wandering.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
Galatians 5:6 (Read all of Galatians 5)New International Version bold is my emphasis...
The only thing!!!!! Faith in Jesus Christ, in his resurrection, faith in our salvation, faith in forgivness, faith in grace, faith in mercy, faith in GOD!!!! Without the resurrection Christianity means nothing. Read Romans...as Paul starts out talking about how sinful man is, he shouts that it is faith in Christ alone that saves us!
