Taste of Faith

Isn't it wonderful that we have such a Savior? A Savior that freely gives to us faith, faith that is so strong that in our weakness it is made stronger. In the midst of adversity Jesus arises within us, His Bride, to empower us even in the midst of our doubts. Jesus told us in Matthew chap 6 to be anxious for nothing, to trust God for everything, every little detail of our lives. Our food, our clothes, our shelter.....everything. Peter writes to us and tells us to "Cast all our cares on Him as He cares for us." Sometimes doubt tries to arise within us, as we are only human, but remember that even Jesus had moments of agonizing about the Fathers will. In the garden he prayed if it was the Father's will to remove the cup set before Him yet He had enough faith to trust the Father to empower Him to drink the cup if need be. That is how our lives are, we must be willing to drink whatever cup the Father sets before us. It is normal to balk at the taste of it, sometimes it tastes like faith and sometimes it tastes like doubt, but regardless of the taste, we know He gives us the strength to drink it. Remember the commission in Mark 16 given to us by Jesus, ..."and if you drink any deadly thing it will in no means hurt you..." so, drink up and trust Him to make it good for you.
