Just a little Faith

by: Priscy Marie

I tend to live in my own world and walk to the beat of my own personal drummer and sing songs no one knows. But, every so often I lend myself to see to world around me for what
it is.  I see sadness, insecurity, rejection and complexes to fill every galaxy above.  People doubting their faith or being told they need more.

Makes me think; who has faith?  Is it the optimistic go getter or the Debbie downer?  The truth is, everyone has a measure of faith that’s been gifted to them by God.  The difference lies in where the faith is put.

Faith is the certainty of things hoped for and the conviction of what’s not seen

A few weeks ago I was faced with an opportunity to use my faith either for me or against me.  I was really low on funds and had some large expenses being drafted from my account.  I had no way to come up with sufficient funds in this short amount of time and was faced with two main options; the obvious and easiest, “oh no I’m going to over draw my account and have to pay twice as much in fees”, or the more difficult, “hey Lord, You are my provider and You make a way where there is no way”.  I struggled because although it was easy to say the latter, it was challenging for my heart to truly submit to this confession.  I had to make my heart
compliant to the faith I wanted and needed to have.  Even if I were to have gone with the easier path my faith would still have been exercised but it would have been working against me.  The Lord made a way out of NO way and was just in time!

It’s sometimes perplexing to me, how I would ever choose to have faith in heart ache or pain
or just plain negative things.  It brings me back to realizing that I need to get to know my loving savior a little more because if I knew Him I would know His thoughts and hold on to the ones He has for me.  Use my faith to work for me in the hope and future that He has planned for me.       

What is your faith in?  What is your confession?  What is your heart proclaiming?

Use Your faith to work for you and not against you as you walk in the plan the He has for you.

Have faith, know that He has a plan for you, and it’s a good one! J
