What Faith Can Do

A lot of times I crave a life full of adventure and excitement. When I look back at the times when I was consumed with this desire to live a life that was bigger and better than I could ever have imaged, I realize that they were all precurses to a tremendous test of faith from the Lord.

Times like when I became a Christian, when I graduated high school and moved to a Christian camp for a summer, when I left the Christian college I was attending, and when I packed two suitcases and bought a one-way plane ticket to Colorado Springs...

Or when I needed $2500 overnight in order to still go on my missions trip, or flew to Jordan, Nepal, Thailand.... Man, did God show Himself faithful!

Since my time in YWAM I think I have experienced a different type of the faith building process. It's the side of faith that requires us to be steadfast and focused on building our character. In fact, it's the side of faith that takes more than just a hunger to see Christ, but instead a burning desire to become like Christ. To continue to ask the Holy Spirit to dig deep into the depths of my heart, mind and soul to give me the faith to believe that He is in the midst of developing me and refining me.

See my life isn't full of the ups and downs and a lot of unknowns like it used to be. When I start to become discontent I remember that I am where God has me for now and it still requires a tremendous amount of faith to trust that you are hearing and walking with the Lord, when you aren't seeing Him move in miraculous ways.

Please listen to this song and as you do, it is my prayer that you too would remember that your faith can move the mountains and that whether you are packing your bags to move over seas or feeding a new born baby... your faith is precious and God knows exactly where you are at and why.
