If you're intentional about it, your faith will grow. If you're lazy,
it won't! It's that simple. Like a river erodes a riverbank, your
faith can wear away just from living every day. If you don't do
anything to secure and strengthen your faith it will begin to
deteriorate - and you can count on that! Hebrews 11:6 NIV tells us
that, 'Without faith it is impossible to please God' so living by
faith needs to be the top of our daily agenda.
'Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not
see' (Hebrews 11:1 NIV) It's being God-confident - relying on God to
guide you through life. Henry Blackaby wrote: 'The kind of assignments
God gives in the Bible are always God-sized. They are always beyond
what people can do, because He wants to demonstrate His nature, His
strength, His provision and His kindness to His people and to a
watching world. That is the only way the world will come to know Him.'
God wants us to do things for Him that we can only do with His help,
because only then will we experience God at work in our lives, only
then will people see how great God is. Live by faith, take on
God-sized jobs and God-sized challenges - do something that you can
only accomplish with God's help.
What now? What extraordinary thing could you do today, where you need
to totally rely on God's help in order to do it? It could be small or
big.
