Faith: a holy walk

Fighting my tendency for indolence, I am going to blog again. I'm on my second week of work and my body is still adjusting to the early mornings and late nights (as opposed to late mornings and late nights while I was on vacation). Still, God is faithful and His strength is made perfect when I am weak.

I am using a book called "Faith, a holy walk" by Oswald Chambers as a devotional. Let me quote,

Faith that is sure of itself is not faith. Faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.

(Selah)

Let that sink in for a few moments.

We can draw the same principle from the Lord's answer to His disciples' plea for an increase of faith (see Luke 17:5-6).

Bottom line: It is not so much the size of our faith that matters as the size of our God. Faith does not look at itself, but at its object, the awesome and eternal living God.
