Proverbs of a 39 yr old man
It is the acknowledgement of our inadequacy that allows God to work in our lives. Say to the LORD, my faith is far from perfect. I may not have enough faith. If my faith is not enough, please help me to have enough. Oh Jesus, I do have faith! Please help me to have even more. Fellow believer, we will be faced with things that seems to overpower our faith. Where we don’t seem to have enough faith to follow Christ in that moment, so we need ask for more faith. We acknowledge that even our faith comes from God. It is His work in our lives that enables us to believe and obey. As always, we can ask for what we need. When we doubt, we can ask for more faith. When we are wavering in our resolve to follow, we can ask for more resolve. When we are unwilling to obey, we can ask to be made willing. An unbeliever has no interest in having more faith or being made willing to obey. The believer knows that his faith and obedience are always deficient, and he will frequently ask God to enable him to live the life that pleases God. If left to our own strength and our own faith, we would never make it. So my friends, watch out! Don't let evil thoughts or doubts make any of you turn from the living God. You must encourage one another each day. And you must keep on while there is still a time that can be called "today." If you don't, then sin may fool some of you and make you stubborn. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.
