Faith~

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

- Hebrews 11:1

Lord, I think You're telling me to pick up my mat and to walk.

Throughout the day today, You've been telling me through the various ways about it. The sermon today, the magnet on sammie's fridge, grace's blogpost..I think I get the message.

For a while now, I've been stuck in the situation where I keep praying that I'll draw closer to You, experience You, work with You and all..but I've not given You my best. I've not been seeking You with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. I've not been seeking You diligently.

Lord, just like how You have given the people in the bible the many chances for them to act out their faith, like how You could have healed the blind beggar right there on the spot, but You didn't. You gave him the chance to walk by faith to the pool at Siloam and be healed there. And how among all the people on the streets, it was the woman with the blood issue, the only one who reached out to touch your cloak that received the healing without needing to ask.

Faith is never silent.

Faith is knowing what is true, and also what you do.

Faith that does nothing is worth nothing. James 2:20.

Lord, I will try. I will daily lift my hands to praise you, I will daily enter your gates with thanksgiving and Your courts with praise, I will daily spend time with You and Your word, I will try my best to love the people You have placed in my life.

Lord, I know I cannot do this alone, and I know I have many weaknesses, but You have shown me that my weaknesses can and will be stripped away by the power of Your love. God, let me act in faith. Let me step out of my boat. Lord, I know You have provided me with opportunities to step out in faith, Lord, would You let me see these chances and to take them and to trust in You.

You are good Lord, forever and for always.

Let me dance on this mountaintop, let me dance with joy to see Your Kingdom come Lord.
