The next time his doctor stopped in to see him, he told the doctor that he was fine, he had been cured by God, and that he was ready to go home. The doctor assumed at first that this was just part of normal patient denial but Kevin s Dad did seem healthier, his color was better, he was extremely robust for someone who had just had surgery and he kept insisting that he was healed. So the doctor ordered a set of diagnostic tests, some of the same tests that were originally used to document the extent of the cancer and when the results came back, all signs of the cancer were gone. Dad lived another fifteen years. He shared this story with many people and because of his character, his life, his work in the church, and his witness the faith of many was strengthened.
Faith makes the unbelievable, believable.
Faith stirs us to action. Sometimes we do something not because we understand the need, but because we are somehow convinced that it is what God wants and we trust God. If we really believe something, then it usually follows that we will do something. I will either show up or let you know that I m not going to show up. Sometimes our faith will even move us to do things we see no need to do Noah was probably a little puzzled when God told him to build a gigantic ark on dry land, but he did it anyway.
