Faith building moments

I'm thankful for the 'faith building moments' in my life; those times that I just knew that God was doing something amazing behind the scenes.


I also am thankful that I have a growing faith and that this faith is what God desires to produce in each of His children.  As Christians, we must develop a strong prayer life; studying the scriptures and totally relying on God to carry us through difficult times.  Fear and worry should have no room in our lives if we live by these beliefs.


The main ingredient that helps our faith grow is for us to go through trials.  No one likes to go through trials, including myself, but they are necessary for us to grow in faith, and to grow  in our relationship with God.


I've noticed over the past couple of years that when I'm faced with struggles or hardships, it forces me to dig deeper, seek God harder and trust Him like I never have before.


Be thankful for those 'faith building moments;' it's God giving our faith a workout, so that we can be a stronger Christian.  Step out in faith; you'll build spiritual strength you never knew you had.


Isaiah 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
