Let me ask you a few questions. What difference did your faith in Christ make yesterday? What difference will your faith make today? What about tomorrow? God wants your faith to grow. For many of us our faith is about the size of a speck of dust, very miniscule and almost impossible to see. I use a speck of dust as an illustration because Jesus said in Matthew 17:20, “If we have faith that is the size of a mustard seed we can move mountains.” In other words if you want to see God’s hand move, you must have faith.
Have you ever wondered what faith looks like when it is lived out with the intent of God doing great things in and through your life? The person who lives by faith acknowledges the presence of God. Living faith recognizes that God is in absolutely everything. Living faith gets up in the morning and realizes everywhere we go, God goes too. Living faith has the constant awareness of God’s presence in life. Living faith says, “God I know you are here.; I may not understand what you are doing but I know you are here.” Do you get up in the morning realizing that when you go to work God is going to be there? Faith is a choice. You chose to take God at His Word and act accordingly. You chose to believe the evidence you have seen. Faith is not a feeling. You might say, “I don’t feel like getting up today. I don’t feel like going to work. I don’t feel like going to church. I don’t feel like (you fill in the blank).” You often choose to act regardless of how you feel. Do you remember a time in your life when you experienced faith –when you made a choice to take a risk?
Are you living out your faith in a way that is visible? Is your faith more than words that you may sing in a song on Sunday morning or a subject you talk about around fellow believers? Is your faith making a difference in your life and in the lives of those around you?
