Real Faith
"But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8)
"But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8)
I find these above words of Jesus a bit harrowing.
"Jesus, I think I have faith," I tell myself.
But what does faith really look like?
- faith means choosing not to run that yellow light because God will get me to my destination in His time
- faith means tipping my barber a bit extra for Thanksgiving or Christmas because God is never outdone in generosity
- faith means whether I'm satisfied or dissatisfied with the recent election results I surrender all concerns with our country's future over to God because He is in control
How is my faith?
Lord, increase my faith! Amen.
