An Illustration of NOT Living By Faith in Real Life

  Living By Faith

A 10-year-old boy shot and killed his mother on November 21, 2022. The boy allegedly claimed that he took the gun from his mother’s bedroom down to the basement, where his mother was doing her laundry. Initially, he claimed that he was twirling the gun around his fingers when it went off and “accidentally” killed his mother.

     But, according to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the boy later confessed that he carried out the heinous act out of his irrational anger after his mother refused to buy him a VR headset. Members of his family further revealed the 10-year-old boy’s many previous episodes of erratic anger and rage issues, such as setting fire at home and causing explosion when his demands were rejected by his mother.

     Even while being interrogated by the FBI, the boy surprisingly asked if his VR headset had arrived or not—the one that he ordered from Amazon the day after killing his mother. Without faith, the 10-year-old boy just loved things more than people, including his own mother.

    

The Bottom Line

 

     Living by faith, you believe in God who can do anything and everything for you in your everyday life and living.

     Living by faith, you love God and people more than you love things in your life.

 

Learning

 

     In your development phase, you begin learning about things and people around you. You learn mostly from your loved ones. Your mind begins to develop with thoughts based on your own perceptions and experiences.  

     At school, you learn to read, to count, and to socialize. They all play a role in your faith in God: reading helps you read bible stories; counting enables you to count your gifts and blessings from God; and socializing makes you share your faith with others.

     Your learning should be extensive and inclusive. You may have your own preference but no rejection because you need comprehensive knowledge to understand and make sense out of the complex and complicated world. Understanding that God is in control of everything is the beginning of your faith, which gives you love.

 

The Bottom Line

 

     Living by faith, you begin your first step to reach out to God to help you with your learning throughout your life.

 

Doing

 

     In addition to learning, your life is also about doing—doing this and doing that throughout your lifespan. Your doing begins as early as in your development phase. Learning gives you the knowledge and the information, but you need to know how to apply them to your daily living through your own doing.

     With faith, you learn that success and failure are both sides of the same coin, and that you do what you need to do. With trust, you do your best. With obedience, you let God do the rest.

     Without faith, an individual may begin doing anything, whether right or wrong, just to give him or her joy and pleasure.

 

The Bottom Line

 

     Living by faith, you hear God’s divine instructions in your daily doing or undoing. You do your best and God will do the rest for you.
