The Vital Ingredient
Cooking has never come naturally for me. You know some ladies that throw a few things in a pot, and "Oh!!! does it taste delicious!" Other ladies, their food not only tastes good, but it looks like it came out of a magazine!!! I hate to say that is NOT me. When we first got married I prayed over the meal before I brought it to the table asking God to help it taste good :). My cooking techniques have improved since we first got married, but still from time to time I will forget to put in a main ingredient. Lately I have been studying the subject of Faith. Faith is a vital ingredient in our Christian life! The Bible says in Romans 14:23, ".... for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." And also in Hebrews 11:6, "But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe is, and that he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him." Faith is Essential!!!
Are you praying with faith believing that He hears and will answer. Lately when I pray I quote verses about the power of prayer. I once heard the quote, "God never gave His children a promise which He does not intend for them to use." Don't stop praying even though you have prayed the same prayers for years. Believe that, "He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think...." Ephesians 3:20
Faith is the Victory!!! 1 John 5:4, "...and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith." "Little faith will bring your soul to Heaven, great faith will bring Heaven to your soul."
