Faith

Last weekend we had a family reunion. During which we went canoeing. We stopped at an area to swim, and there was a clay embankment across from us. As we swam we went across to the other side, and jumped off of it. My cousin swam over and as he attempted to climb the clay. When his hand slipped, his wedding ring came off, and it fell into the river. We searched for about ten minutes diving ten feet plus under water looking for the ring. Meanwhile my Mom sat on the side. While we were all catching our breath she stated that she was praying. My initial reaction was "thanks a lot" and I thought as if that would not really help. Now I am being candid with you; my faith was lacking. I realized immediately what my reaction was and began to pray myself. We did not find the ring, but I can not help but think what the outcome might have been if I had had more faith. Then, tonight Donna (a lady from our church) spoke, she was speaking on freedom. She said, that once you are free in Christ, you can see many awesome things happen. Things that she has seen such as people being healed and even rising from the dead. Now I know that God can do anything this I have seen, but when she said this my immediate reaction was doubt. NOW My prayer is that I will have undoubting FAITH in God. I pray that not only will I know my God is all powerful, but I will act in it too. I will live in it. The stories in the bible are not only stories of stuff that happened two thousand years ago. They are facts these are miracles that God is still doing today. God is not asleep. He is not dead. He is still all powerful. He cares for us more that ever before and wants to see us live in his freedom. When we do, we will see things happen that can only be attributed to a God who loves and cares for us. This is the God we serve.
Faith.
When I have it my world changes.
