If you ask anyone to name the most valuable thing he or she has, the answer would vary from car to computer, books to knowledge, jewels to bank savings, properties to investments, business to children and so on. The most valuable thing is the one that is been constantly under attack and is none but our faith. According to Paul that faith is given or shared, hence it needs to be well guarded: “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” (Rom 10:17) Hence he urges the believers to well protect with the help of the Holy Spirit: “What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” (2 Tim 1:13-14) May we believe the value of faith and preserve it with utmost care and cherish it every day and be pleasing to God.

Abba, Thank You for the deposit of faith that is handed to us. Let Your Spirit make us realize the value of it and guard it with the power and support of the Holy Spirit, In Jesus’ Most Protecting Name, Amen.
