Today, let’s turn the dial to Billy Joel’s hit “Keeping the Faith” and discover how it connects with Hebrews 11:1-6. This song is all about holding onto what’s good and true, even as life changes around us. Let’s reflect on what it means to keep our faith alive and vibrant in our everyday walk with God.

🎶 Lyrics That Inspire: 🎶
“You know the good old days weren't always good,
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems...”

Billy Joel’s words remind us of the importance of staying grounded in what truly matters. It’s not about longing for the past or fearing the future—it’s about trusting and persevering. And that’s where faith steps in!

📖 Devotional Inspiration: 📖
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible… And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
— Hebrews 11:1-3, 6 (NIV)

The writer of Hebrews gives us a clear picture of what keeping the faith means: holding onto confidence in God’s promises, even when we can’t see the outcome. It’s about trusting in the unseen and living with hope and assurance that God’s plan is good and true.

Billy Joel’s nostalgic yet forward-looking tune mirrors this sentiment. Faith requires us to look back with gratitude, but also forward with trust in God’s provision. Just as the song speaks of keeping true to yourself and your beliefs, our spiritual journey invites us to cling to our identity in Christ, no matter what comes our way.

🌟 Takeaways to Live By: 🌟

1. Faith is about trust – Trust God’s plan for your life, even when the road ahead seems unclear. He is faithful to guide and provide.

2. Faith grows through perseverance – Challenges are an opportunity to deepen your reliance on God. Keep going, even when it’s hard.

3. Faith requires action – Live out your faith in practical ways: through love, kindness, and a life that reflects God’s goodness.

💡 Reflection:
As we listen to “Keeping the Faith,” we’re reminded that faith is more than a feeling—it’s a daily choice. It’s about standing firm in God’s promises and trusting Him to lead us through both the good old days and the uncertain tomorrows.

Take a moment this week to reflect on where your faith might need a little boost. Are there areas where you’re struggling to trust God? Are there opportunities to step out in faith, even when the outcome isn’t clear?

🎶 Let’s keep the faith alive, one step at a time, trusting that God is with us every step of the way.
