“Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith.” – 1 Timothy 1:18-19
In his book “Let Me Tell You A Story”, Pastor Tony Campolo tells the following about faith: “A story is told of a town where all the residents are ducks. Every Sunday the ducks waddle out of their houses and waddle down Main Street to their church. They waddle into the sanctuary and squat in their proper pews. The duck choir waddles in and takes its place, and then the duck minister comes forward and opens the duck Bible. He reads to them: ‘Ducks! God has given you wings! With wings, you can fly! With wings, you can mount up and soar like eagles. No walls can confine you! No fences can hold you! You have wings. God has given you wings, and you can fly like birds!’
All the ducks shout, ‘Amen!’
And then they all waddle home.”
Are you looking to Jesus and growing in faith? Today in prayer, praise the Lord that He is a rewarder to all those who place their faith in Him.
"Faith is taking God at His word. Faith is not belief without evidence. It is belief on the very best of evidence -- The Word of Him 'that cannot lie.'" - R.A. Torrey
God’s Word: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7
