Audacious Faith Awaits

Faith.  Perhaps the greatest untapped resource we have to meet the needs of humanity. Without it, we are constrained to our own limits, yet with it, we are a source of God’s limitless activity. My husband would always tell me that he had enough faith for the both of us…more importantly, he showed me what a life of faith looks like.

It’s easy to pick up the Bible and read about men and women of faith, but actually being a man or woman of faith isn’t quite so easy. It requires action – something too many of us shrink back from embracing.

Faith means believing in something that one cannot see, and living like it’s visible. The ‘living like it’s visible’ is the part that requires action.  Being a person of faith means letting go of what others think (Gal1.10), and being hopeFUL in the face of hopelessness. It means never giving up on what’s true and right and good.  It means believing in others even though you’ve been let down too many times to count. It means turning over every stone until you find the one that has the answer…it means determination…it means never giving up.

God isn’t going to force us to have faith. He may impress us, warn us, prompt us…but He won’t force us. It’s up to us to activate this untapped potential. It’s up to us to answer those big question marks in our lives with faith. May I live today full of faith, believing in the things I cannot see, and living full of risk for His miraculous to come in all the lives I touch.
