The Life of Rookie Parents

A few weeks ago our young adult Bible study met on Thursday like we always do. Our discussion however, went on and on. It was great! We gathered and spoke about faith, trials prayer and God's will. It is always interesting to hear young people from different places and backgrounds share about their faith and interpretations of scripture.

Since that Thursday, my mind has thought a lot about faith and the sovereignty of God. Here is what I have concluded:

1) We must have faith to be saved and with faith we can move mountains. With faith the sick are healed and bondages are broken. Faith is required for everything involved in the Christian walk. But I believe if we ever lose sight of God's sovereignty, we lose faith.

2) Faith speaks possibility to impossible situations but always acknowledging God as sovereign, is acknowledging that God is the chief over all. In other words, with faith things can happen but if they don't we must not lose sight that God is sovereign-that he knows all, sees all and calls all things into existence. When we lose sight of his final say our faith diminishes to nothing. We begin to second what we believe, ask why and hoard bitterness in our hearts.

3) Faith and sovereignty go hand in hand. If we can not grasp that God is lordship over all, our faith is merely a routine. We can believe things can happen but when we lose sight that it is God's hand behind our faith moving those moutains we have trusted in our ownself and what we have done.
