A life lived in Faith

Very closely tied to the the last entry is today’s on faith. Faith allows a person to take hold of hope and live it out. Today I read of Moses’ call by God in the wilderness and of Jesus calling his disciples to faith. Both Moses and the disciples must exhibit faith in order to obey God. Moses and the disciples have no resources of their own to give them reason to believe they can carry out their Master’s orders on their own. Moses is a has been who is out in the insignificant desert hunted by the Egyptians. The disciples are a bunch of rag tag men of little education and little worth in the world’s eyes. Yet called called both of them to do mighty deeds and lead His people. This I believe is my situation. I have no significant experience in ministry. My thoughts and words get confused in my writing... (i.e. my blogs!!) How can I accomplish what God want me to do lead men and women in His church? I do it by having faith in Him to supply my needs and give me the direction and tools I will need to do the job. In fact apart from Him my work would be fruitless for until God works in the hearts of those I am ministering to, I will have no fruit in my ministry. My faith must rest in Christ and my prayers must be fervent in order to be found faithful in God’s eyes. I must rely on God and his resources to do the job to which He has called me.
