1 Kings 18:22-36
"I wish I had great faith." These are words
that almost every Christian has said at one time or another. But faith is like
a muscle, which must be exercised in order to become strong. Just wishing
cannot make it happen.
Christians are to believe God not just for salvation, but for all their needs. Rather than arriving at a spiritual plateau, faith is actually
a process that involves increasing degrees of trust throughout life. Having only just a little
faith hopes that God will do what He says. A strong faith knows that He will, and having great faith believes that He has already done it.
Elijah was a man of great faith. He saw increased
challenges as opportunities for God to do His work and the prophet believed Him
for the supernatural. So can you. The Lord may not do every miraculous thing
you ask of Him, but He does some extraordinary work in and through each person
who is obedient and willing to trust in Him.
You may be thinking, I am not good enough for the
Father to use me. The Scriptures are filled with examples of weak and
flawed people whom the Lord used to achieve His purposes. He is looking, not
for perfection, but for individuals willing to believe Him. He not only works
through people of faith; He transforms them.
