Faith Words

I've been too lazy and busily preoccupied lately. Perhaps I am too lazy? Preoccupied? Doing what? None of your business! That’s what. I'll just tell you much of it is shopping and returns. This is stupid. I'll just say what I'm thinking. This is my blog. This is my place to vent my feelings on just about whatever I’m thinking or not thinking.

The motivation to write lately is tough. It is too nice out there! The great dawn of summer waiting outside. What? Write, right now? To start with, I don't know what I'm saying most the time. I'm making this up as I go. Not the verses and such, no, I don't make those up. It's just all of the filler I use, rather the Holy Spirit in me uses to hand out nuggets of biblical truth. I don't plan most things well in life. I live for the thrill of spontaneity, especially in writing. For me, most of life just happens and I love its surprises.

Jobs and such just happened mostly came as a result of a need within extended family circles of friends. School after high school, I didn't I knew I didn't want more school. After twenty schools growing up, that was the last thing I wanted. Work and marriage were on my agenda. A family came with this life and eventually I slowed down on the work side of life. Family never ends its seems. It just changes.

Two days from now, I’ll be celebrating 29 years of marriage. It is and was always hard, fun, and most always filled with some dramatic people, of which I am only one. No, it’s not that I don’t have a plan; I have a master plan. I plan to trust the Master. It is a simple plan, yet never simple.

This is simple plan of trust is never simple because it is one of faith. It is a faith, with evidence not seen or measurable, that hopes in the invisible God of Creation. This faith is not in ghost, ghouls or fairy tales. No I have faith in the One true God who established and created all. I have faith in Jesus!

Having hope in the One who started this ball of earth a moving, gives me surety of faith in that which is solid, filled with history and a future already known—save some details. Nevertheless, I still believe in faith that Jesus is on His way to some come as the King of Kings. His plan is not delayed. His plan is not thwarted. His plan is not late. For His mercies sake, we are not destroyed, though we oft’ deserve it. No, we are not destroyed and the sun comes up tomorrow, just as it did today. His mercies are truly new every morning.

Knowing that Jesus is real takes faith; however, it is not just faith without cause. No we have whole countries told futures told, as in relationship to Israel. Israel, who in and of itself,  a reason and reminder for faith.

So are you lacking faith?

Is your faith weak?

Pssst! Here is a little secret.

“…Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Romans 10:17 NKJV

This simple verse holds great truth. Unpack it, get it out and use it. Pull up to the table, do a one sentence study of Gods’ Word.

“Faith comes by hearing.”

How does faith come? “By hearing.”

Can we hear just anything to get faith?  No, faith comes only to those who hear something specific. What does the hearer have to hear? They have to hear to word of God.

Does this mean we only hear as someone speaks the Word of God? Yes. What if no one is around to speak? How do we hear the Word of God? Simple, we read the Word and the Holy Spirit will speak to you, the Words of God.

This is builds you up in the faith. Read the Word of God, to hear the Words of God. Hearing the Word of God allows you to hear the Words of God you need to grow faith.

Perhaps this seems to stoop below your level.

“This is too easy. You mean all I’ve got to do is read Gods’ Word and allow Him to speak to me through His Words?” you think.

Yep, it’s that easy!

Yeah, I’m lazy I like to take the simple effective path and just believe and see God move in His own time. How could it be so easy? Listen to the words of Jesus.

^“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

“Therefore do not worry, saying,‘ What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear? For after all these things the Gentiles seek For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matt 6:24-34
