What role does faith play in your life?

For some of us faith is an accessory for our religious wardrobe that we purposefully make sure is visible - even if it’s made of tin.

For others faith is the strategically placed dagger that is hidden by our left sock. When it is needed we will aggressively reach for it… but until then it’s best kept where it won’t attract attention.

There are those for whom faith is very public but embarrassingly hollow. If faith were air we wouldn’t have enough to blow out a birthday candle.

There may be those of us who would admit we have enough faith for salvation, but it seems to evaporate when faced with the dry arid reality of waking up and facing the day one more time.

But, there are those who have the kind of faith that;

isn’t shaken when someone disagrees,

doesn’t waver when faced with a storm,

won’t settle for being tucked away quietly,

and can’t seem to accept anything less than God’s will.


There are those who have a faith that is primed to be filled with the power of the Spirit as He waits to do what can’t be done without Him.

There are those who pray because they believe it makes a difference, read because they know there is something supernatural in God’s Word, and testify because what God is doing is nothing short of a miracle and talking about it can’t be stopped anymore than a tidal wave can be reversed with a box fan.

People can be saved.

Souls can be whole.

Bodies can be healed.

Needs can be met.

Giants can be decapitated.

Seas can be opened.

Hands can be raised.

Hallelujahs can be lifted.

Crosses can be carried.

Communities can be touched.

Marriages can be rebuilt.

Lost kids can be reached.

Sins can be erased.

Weakness can be built up.

Faith can grow.

Faith should grow.

Faith will grow.

I think August is supposed to be about faith.

Someone once told DL Moody that the world had yet to see what would happen if someone lived completely committed to the will of God. Moody responded, “I will be that man!” Faith made a declaration and God used that heart to touch the world.
