Showing Up Faith
How does our faith show up in a crisis? It could be that inner voice, God whispering. Some say faith has no worries, which by Christian standards and God’s word; that should be true! But as humans, we forget the abilities of the true God. The presence of doubt doesn’t diminish the presence of faith. By diligently learning, applying and trusting God’s truths in every area of our lives — whether it's watching a movie together, communicating with our spouses/ friends, raising children or working at the office — we can begin to develop a deep comprehensive faith that will stand against the unrelenting tide of this world’s nonbiblical ideals. “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God”, Romans12:2, KJV. How does faith manage emotions against anxiety? Here again we hear that voice; it reminds us that faith is showing up, telling us not to worry, asking us to learn to not let emotions make us frantic. All by just giving us the opportunity to RELY on what God already gave us within our hearts and uttermost souls! Think about it, deep down where we pull up that strength to get through! It’s the showing up faith that comes when nothing else does. It is that faith of a mustard seed! “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you,” Matthew17:20, KJV. Now that was a mouthful! Never doubt that faith will show up. It is always there deep inside your soul; you just need to allow it to show up!

Father, thank you for another day. Thank you for providing a book of teaching and understanding. Today Lord, give me the ability to take my faith and show others how you can bring hope, grace and love to a world of negativity. Help me to push aside fear and doubt allowing me to hear you. Lord let me be a vessel for you to fill with more and more of you. Amen.
