Exercising Faith

“What does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” – Romans 4:3

Pastor Darren Pollock wrote: “Once when my daughter was six and my son was two, my mother-in-law noticed my daughter holding a favorite toy just out of my son’s standing reach, and she gently scolded her for teasing him that way. My daughter was quick to respond that she was simply doing what she had seen my son’s physical therapist do with him. My son had some developmental delays that kept him from being able to jump, and this was one of the exercises that the therapist did to develop the right muscles and to teach him to go up on his toes and, eventually, to jump. What looked like teasing to my mother-in-law was actually an exercise that would teach my son to be able to grasp what was now out of his reach.

Similarly, God sometimes holds things we are desperate for out of our reach to exercise our faith muscles and to teach us how to grasp these blessings through a deeper faith in him.”

The Lord rewards men and women who exercise their faith in Him.

Give the battles you are facing to Jesus and when He has answered give the credit to the Lord.

Faith is to believe what we do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.

“Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” – Genesis 15:6
