Luke 8:25
"Where is your faith?"
"Where is your faith?"
What is faith? Is it a spiritual force? Is it a creative power? Is it a special gift from God, or something we have to develop on our own? According to the Bible, faith is simply believing that God is Who He says He is, and trusting that He will do what He says He will do. When Jesus says, "Where is your faith?" He's saying, "Don't you trust Me?"
I'm convinced that we have plenty of faith. The problem is we have faith in all the wrong things. Where is your faith? In yourself? In other people? Can you only trust what you see, hear, and experience, or will you dare to trust Someone you can't see? Believing the impossible makes the impossible possible.

Dear Lord. I am ashamed to have been too passive in my faith, somehow assuming that holiness will stick to me if I go to church! How much my character still needs to be reformed, changing my focus of life so that Christ-likeness becomes my primary goal. Please help me to practice the faith I profess and to set objectives for progress in personal disciplines, so that I can be better equipped to work with You. In Christ’s name, Amen and Amen.
