Faith On The Level

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. (Habakkuk 3:17-19)

Thought For Today:

On a scale of 1-10 what would your faith level be today? I often wonder why Christians can't maintain a level 10 at all times. Why is our faith like a thermometer sometimes? Up and down. Jesus said, "I would that you were either cold or hot." So how do we get our faith to stay at the level 10? First, we need to start trusting in the Lord with all our heart and not in our self and others. Secondly, we need to understand that God's ways aren't our ways. He causes it to rain on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45). And thirdly, we need to get to the point in our lives that we know that God has our best interest at heart and no matter what comes our way God is working all things for our good. Habakkuk records that if everything in his life failed, it would not stop him from having joy and rejoicing in the Lord. Because the Lord was his strength. Can you say the same? Have you allowed sickness or something else to decrease your faith level? Keeping the faith will decrease the burden, every time.
