This past Sunday the guest speaker (an evangelist) spoke on Faith-- and he closed with "Lord, increase our faith." It's amazing that we can do all things through Christ, and we can move mountains with faith, but that we need to get so close to Him so that we do it in His will, by His strength, and for His glory. 'Twill be the subject of a sermon/sermon series I have to give the next couple of weeks. <em>MInTheGap's last blog post..<a href='http://www.minthegap.com/2008/07/29/rejoice-in-your-own-wife/'>Rejoice in Your Own Wife</a></em> Good post.

And it's not a blind trust, it's based on ALL the times in the past that He's been more than faithful. Sometimes, I'm just in awe of how good He is to us, yes, even when bad things happen. I know it, Leticia, a mustard seed is SO tiny...I remember doing a children's story on it once. The thing with faith that we Christians fall into the trap of sometimes, is putting more weight on ourselves and falling into a guilt trip over things when we feel like we "just didn't have enough faith"...that's all wrong, it's like having "faith in faith" rather than "Faith in God". If He is the object of our faith, then we don't need much faith at all, if we truly believe. It's easy to believe, it's harder to step out in faith and trust that we're doing the right thing... Colleen, we just got home from vacation and couldn't believe the devastation that hit our state while gone. So sad. So much loss for many families here in the mid-west. Our home and small town weren't damaged, thankfully. Thanks for asking! That’s the truth, Juli, it makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
