BUILDING YOUR FAITH ONE BRICK AT A TIME!

” FEAR OF THE LORD LEADS TO LIFE, BRINGING SECURITY AND PROTECTION FROM HARM.” PROVERBS 19:23

The kind of faith that we need to live in this world today is not and cannot be built in a day. It takes time and, unfortunately many failures, for us to build up our faith and trust in our Lord. Each and every one of us is given a measure of faith, but those of us who have little faith, can and will do little for Christ in this life. When we make mistakes, we must ask for forgiveness, get up from our stumble, dust ourselves off and keep moving forward. We must always learn from our falls and mistakes. As we do, we are applying new bricks of faith to our faith building process. I am sure you have all heard the phrase, “Rome was not built in a day.” Well, so it is with our faith. We have to become sure footed in the little things before we can trust God for larger things. Our God loves us and there is no problem too small or too large for him. If we cannot trust God to help us in the little struggles we have then how can we possibly trust him for our large and complicated struggles? We have to continue to build each day one “faith brick” at a time. We have all been given a free will to make decisions in our lives. Because of this free will each of us have different levels of faith. Some of us have begun to build our faith earlier than others. We each have built our trust in God on different time schedules. Our Lord has supplied us with the tools we need, but it is up to us to build the faith and trust we need in order to successfully use his tools. Our faith building is everlasting and never ending. It should become a natural part of our lives. Fear of the Lord leads to life. As our faith building is never ending, we must remember that God’s love for us is never ending. Keep building, keep trusting and never give up! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
