Faith

Matthew 14:30-32

30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

To me, it's not the tribulations in life that test my faith. In my trials I am desperately seeking God and asking for help. It's the day to day life in which I lose my faith. It probably goes without saying that it's that day to day loss of faith that causes some of my trials. When I am not obeying God with the little things, those little things turn into bigger things, at which God then gets my attention. I'm sure He doesn't like to have to go there, but that's my own fault.

By not having faith, it is telling God that I don't trust Him. I do trust Him, I just think I can do a better job with my own life!! haha...I mean I would never say that, but I guess it's true? Instead of acting on my own from what I think is best, I need to be better about waiting on God. Even the small things. I don't want to react from emotions. I will end up making irrational decisions or making choices to cover up hurts. If I just wait on God, He will heal it all and come up with solutions I couldn't even dream of! I mean He is God!

To me faith means not worrying. ~John Dewey
