IT IS BY FAITH

Looking back at my faith tracks, I see answered prayers time and again on major issues in my life. I see spur of the moment issues answered on the spot. Whether its cancer, loosing the checkbook or making it to a Quick Trip before running out of gas, God enjoys answering our prayers when we believe. I'm always amazed.

I've seen my faith grow from, "This is a hard one, Lord," to "There's nothing you can't do."

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Faith is something that should grow and develop. Trials have a way of either making or breaking our faith. Prayer, loving each other, contact with strong Christians, hope in the return of Christ, and reading God's Word is what perfects our faith.

It is by faith that we experience God, that we accept His Son Jesus Christ, that we are justified before God, and it is by faith that we live by the directives of God's Word and Spirit.
