WAY OF FAITH

Have you ever thought how ironic it is that we all find it easy to act in 'faith' in our daily activities but find it difficult to speak in faith when it comes to important things.




Recently, I watched an episode of Total Wipeout USA and the first thing that came to me was how people can put themselves through anything because of money. However, what got my attention and got me thinking in this line was a particular guy that shouted at the anchor to sign the check even before he started. Of course, he sounded 'crazy' asking them to sign the check before he even started! At every stage he went through, he kept shouting for them to sign the check. Funny enough, through the preliminary stages, he was not the best but that did not deter him as he continued to shout loudly "Sign the check!" I have a feeling that it was FAITH speaking because he won!




It is simple faith that makes you trust that the bed you sleep on, or the chair you sit on to carry your weight and not make you fall. 

It is faith you display when you ride in that car, get on the bus, train or plane not knowing if the engine will fail you or not.

We trust bridges to carry us through to the other end but don't have faith in God to carry us through the storm.

We trust books and manuals to direct us but don't trust the Holy Word to lead us through our darkness.

However, when it comes to things that really matter, like talking to God, speaking to situations, healing, many of us falter and doubt our faith.




One question that constant plagued me was this "If it is so easy to act in faith in our daily activities, why then do we find it difficult to bring up our faith in things that matter most?"




The answer that came to me was very simple - We have an enemy. Our enemy knows exactly what our faith in the Almighty will do to him. He then enlarges our problems and makes any divine solution seem illogical and unreasonable.




Every time we allow ourselves to doubt God, His power, His love, His plan, we allow the enemy to win a trophy and you can be sure that he loves collecting them.




After this realisation, I made a decision and will keep praying for grace to stand by it - "I will not allow the enemy to gather my trophies. I will believe, trust and have FAITH in God who makes all things perfect in His time" 




You too can make that decision today to live in faith and make a change.




Have a FAITH-filled week.
