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. Faith stirs us to action.
Faith changes what happens.
Yesterday, I stopped in here at the Neighbor Center to get the tape of John s recent sermon on faith. Some kind of ladies meeting had just ended and one of the ladies who had participated was standing near the door as I left. She was wearing a beautiful black dress with sparkles in it and since I had to wait for Kevin to catch up to me, I paused beside her and commented on how nice her dress was. I went shopping and found this dress. I praise God for that.
