Are You Content Kicking Rocks?
I met a man named “Faith” today. Faith…walking tall on two legs. Faith…smiling and holding a conversation with me. Faith…asking me my name and holding on to my hand in greeting. Faith…looking directly into my eyes. Faith...living, breathing and softly speaking. Faith…saying he was going to remember my name because the next time he saw me he wanted to call me by it. It makes me ponder how alive my faith is. Does my faith appear in manifestations to others, what about to my problems? Do my circumstances recognize the faith within me, around me, coming out of me? Faith is, by definition, a strong and unshakable belief in something, especially without proof or evidence. The Bible tells us that God has dealt to each man a measure of faith. What this means to me is that the all-knowing God, who is outside of time and space, who simultaneously sees our beginning from our ending, knew exactly what life would hold for each of us. He knew exactly how much faith to plant within us to sustain us. I challenge you to open the lid of your Pandora’s Box today and let faith escape (along with hope). I challenge you to focus on the possibilities, not the problems; the potential, not the challenges. I hope you aren’t content with kicking rocks, rather release your faith and move mountains.
