I believe that real faith is meant to be tough.
Real faith can take the hard knocks.
But where does that type of faith come from, and how can we possess it?
When tough times come where is our faith centred?
I truly believe for most people - faith gets centred on the problem at hand.
Therefore the problem is the centre of attention and faith becomes a peripheral thing.
Our thought is – “maybe just maybe my faith might be strong enough if I’m lucky to overcome this thing”
With this outlook the mountain almost always will look bigger than any amount of faith you can muster up to challenge it.
Our faith has subtly become inversely proportional to the problem itself, and therefore dictated by it.
Faith in faith won’t do it either, as I said in my last post - faith has to have an object, that object isn’t the situation we are facing, the object of our faith is the Author and Perfector of our faith – JESUS.
So if you have a mountain to move today get your eyes off the mountain and onto the object of your faith, a bit more time with HIM and a little less time worrying over other the problem is the Biblical recipe for GREAT FAITH.
“Look away from all that will distract to Jesus, Who is the Leader and Source of our faith” Hebrews 12:2 Amplified Bible
