word for the day
FAITH
verse for the day
Hebrews 11:1,6 (nlt) --- Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see...And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
(and another) quote for the day
Faith is embracing the uncertainties of life. It is chasing lions that cross our paths. It is recognizing a divine appointment when you see one. Embrace relational uncertainty. It's called romance. Embrace spiritual uncertainty. It's called mystery. Embrace occupational uncertainty. It's called destiny. Embrace emotional uncertainty. It's called joy. Embrace intellectual uncertainty. It's called revelation. --- In A Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson, page 89.
thought for the day
That is incredible. I am talking about faith and how faith will rock us, push us and even propel us in a new direction if we let it.
We think of people who skydive or rock climb or flip motorcycles as idiots. But adventure may be the very word that best describes faith at work. Yes, it is uncertain. It is off the hook. It doesn't allow you to sit back and do the same old, same old. Why is that? Faith is based on who God is and what He has done and what He will do.
Therefore, faith is unpredictable. Faith says "God can" when everything else looks impossible. Faith is what shows up when all else fails. Honestly, faith is what makes us grow and gets the attention of people who don't have faith.
Be careful. Far too many Christians don't exercise or use faith. In fact, they are the ones telling those living by faith to slow down and be careful.
It is time to think big. We have a big God. It is time to dream the impossible. We have a God that makes stuff possible. It is time to attempt what has not been done before. Our God can do anything, and He owns everything. It is time to let our faith out of the box and to let others see God in all His glory.
What happens when you let a lion out of it's cage? What happens the security system goes haywire and the siren blares through the neighborhood? Everything gets shook up.
It is time to practice a little faith, and let God out of the box. The world might just join in on the adventure.
