It seems amazing that in all that we see, hear and do - we are not confident in God's leading. We need something tangible and mind-boggling to rest our faith upon. In the last chapter, Rahab was betting on a sure thing when she placed her faith, life and her family on the lives of two strangers but she was aware of the greater good. Joshua was confirmed in front of Israel by the Lord when the waters of the Jordan ceased from flowing so they could cross. Nothing is more visual than that since all of them didn't see the parting of the Red Sea.
What do I need to confirm my faith? Do I need to see the miraculous to believe? I read a blog daily about a co-worker's young daughter who hasn't seen the outside of a hospital since she was born a few weeks ago. God has performed a miracle in sustaining her life as a testimony to all who read that blog. I am reminded today of a friend that I went to college that is undergoing tests to see what the next steps are in curing his heart condition. I pray that in this instance, I can share the love of a Saviour that will heal is wounded heart.
What type of faith do I have? Hopefully, I have the faith that can sustain me day to day so that I can seek Him daily. My prayer is that my family in their own way seeks Him daily as well. Unfortunately, I can't do that for them nor they for me. Faith is an individual relationship with God. I can pray for someone but ultimately it's the relationship between God and the person that can heal and save.
We are coming home today after a week long trip to LA and FL. I can stay in FL forever... However, there is still things to be done and bills to pay. I really look forward to seeing my son tonight to share and pray with him.
