Just a Morsel

Great faith is real-it is like a child leaping into the unknown without fear; off he goes. He just knows that he knows that the Almighty is guiding and leading and if he may tumble and fall the Almighty is there to catch him and expose the path he is to leap into next.

Great faith is present when things occur that try to rattle you, distract you, waylay you. It springs up as a well of confidence and boldness. Great faith causes you to leap into action and stand your ground in Christ regardless of the circumstances.

Faith is not about the thinking, it is about the doing. Faith is an Action Word. I would like to share what my friend Marie wrote to Dick and I not too long ago. I will reword it in such a way that you can apply it to your life and your faith walk with the Lord Almighty.

"Great Faith is when you believe regardless of the evidence set against you. Your faith is unshakable-not because of experiences (yet experiences confirm your faith) but because you trust in the Lord and trust that His Word is TRUTH. You do not need to shake rattle and roll to know that the Lord is present with you. You just know that the Lord is not a far off God, but an ever present Help in time of trouble. This faith and trust will not go un-noticed and it will be rewarded in many ways. You will leave a legacy to others-truth that the Lord is who He says He is-loving Father, Redeemer, Savior and a strengthener and comforter always."

Today I leave you with these thoughts to ponder and take to the Lord. Ask yourself in what ways is He growing your faith. Is it in your finances, your health, or the health of a loved one? Is it dealing with ungodly people or those who are just rubbing you the wrong way? I know one thing, it is always about His provision in the circumstances of your daily life.

I pray today that we all have another morsel of faith. And that faith that will infuse us and propel us into our future. I want much less of me Lord and much much more of you.
