What is Faith?

Using Faith...

Have you ever thought about whether the light would come on before you turned the light switch on? 

Because I have the familiar experience of having successfully done it countless times before, I don’t even think about it, I just know it will work. Even when that 1 in a thousand time happens when the bulb is burnt out, I replace the bulb without thinking and the light comes on. 

That is faith. 

When I am staying in a new or unfamiliar place like a hotel or a friend’s home, I instinctively know that if I just find that light switch, the light will come on. 

That is faith. 

I cannot see the mechanics involved and I certainly have no electrical training or background in engineering, but...

Because I have experience with the process, I trust it works and neither debate it, nor give it a second thought. 

That is faith. 

 OK, so this next part may not apply to you Spiritual giants… 

Now why then do I want to debate with God over trivial things? 

Why do I expect the answer before I even begin the task that is new or unfamiliar? Where is my trust being placed? Where oh where is my faith? Has He not brought me this far in life successfully through things I have had no control over? Why do I even think I need to discuss the new thing with Him?

Where is my faith? 

Check your experience…

“The great fact is just this, and nothing less: That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows and toward God's universe.” Big Book pg 25 

Lord, like the light switch, let us place our trust in You based on our experience with You, AMEN. 

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 

Have a blessed day y’all!

It A'int For Sale

It ain't for sale.... 

Just about anything we could possibly want or think we need is available instantly these days. 

From the basics of food, shelter, and clothing to instant fixes from pills, powders, and motivational mojo, we can get it instantly with our bank cards and money. 

Maybe it's different for you but I have learned the hard way that none of my flaws, defects, or shortcomings can be fixed instantly and from purchasing that latest thing they hawk on the TV or online. 

My fears and pride are only managed through a daily reprieve contingent on my spiritual condition and growth. 

I know I cannot buy my grace from God. He does not offer it for sale but He gives it to us for free when we become willing...

Check your experience… 

"What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition." Big Book pg 85 

Lord, please help us to work daily to grow our relationship with You and not be confused by worldly clamors offering lies, AMEN. 

"And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, saying, 'Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.'" Acts 8: 18-19 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Free Faith Lift!

Free Faith Lifts.... 

It's not only the most wonderful time of the year but also the most hectic and chaotic time of year. 

The stress of our self-imposed gift buying frenzy strains our finances and frazzles our nerves giving rise to fear and worry. 

Add to this the fact that most of us tend to get caught up in the business and busy-ness of our daily lives with our tasks, routines, and responsibilities as we should but along the way...

 Our faith can get muted and or even placed on the “I will get to that later” shelf. 

Our faith can carry us through the hard and scary times as well as propel us to the blessings and grace that awaits us here on Earth as well as in Heaven. 

Can your faith use a lift?..

Check your experience...

“Arrived at this point, we were squarely confronted with the question of faith.” Big Book pg 53 

Lord, revive the faith deep within our hearts to brings us in line with Your will for us and relieve us of the stress of the worldly calamities constantly surrounding us, AMEN. 

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

Have a blessed day y’all!
