As I considered how I minister to God, the other day. I wondered about many things…then I had a thought that was like an arrow in my heart…my faith ministers to Him.
It’s so interesting, all of the faith we have comes from God. He is the Giver of faith.
Imagine two people receive the same amount of faith. One uses it to believe in all that God is doing. The other uses their faith…their belief in things not yet seen…to partner with fear of the future.
You see, we all have faith in one thing or another, at all times.
When we operate from fear, we are having faith in the bad things. When we expect goodness, live from one blessing to another, rejoice in all things…we are having faith in God.
This makes sense.
When I use the gift of faith to believe in God, that is us loving Him.
I really want to minister to the Lord in whatever way I can…I’m sure you do too.
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11:1-3
It is by faith we have been saved. Faith is the crux of many things. A pleasing fragrance to our Father.
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each day proclaim the good news that He saves. Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens! Honor and majesty surround Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling. O nations of the world, recognize the Lord, recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong. Give to the Lord the glory He deserves! Bring your offering and come into His presence. Worship the Lord in all His holy splendor. Let all the earth tremble before Him. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!” Let the sea and everything in it shout His praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for He is coming to judge the earth. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. Cry out, “Save us, O God of our salvation! Gather and rescue us from among the nations, so we can thank Your holy name and rejoice and praise You.” Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, Who lives from everlasting to everlasting! And all the people shouted “Amen!” and praised the Lord. 1 Chronicles 16:23-36
