the past few days have been a test of my faith, and a test of my trust, in more ways than one.

Pastor Mark said something during yc that really struck me-
in the way you live your life everyday, you are inevitably putting your faith in many things.
when you order something online, you have faith that it will arrive on time.
when you drive down to the store to pick up a loaf of bread, you have faith that the store will remain open from 9am to 10pm everyday.
when you go to restaurant and order your food, you have faith that the food will live up to a certain standard and that you wont keel over and die after eating.

if i find it so easy to put my faith in these things, why cant i put my faith in the Lord?

today, i recalled a lesson that ip kenneth taught me awhile back, from the book of Genesis.

1. Ask God
- This was what Abraham did. Genesis 15:2-3

2. The Lord's reply and promise
- Genesis 15:4

also, that when you think the Lord is trying to tell you something, you cannot interpret things as and when they come and in any manner that you please. there have got to be certain, sure confirmation signs from the Lord.

right now, i am attempting to channel my life in a particular manner. but im learning to let go, and let Him. all i can do is ask, and wait for His reply. a reply that will make my faith grow stronger. and my love for Him grow deeper. and my hope in Him be as sure as the sun rising tomorrow.

as i grapple with the application of these lessons in my life, please pray for extra grace on me from Him. (:
and im off to sleep. (:
