Where Is Your Faith?

Today I had a vendor in town named Lindia who has become a darling friend of mine over the last year or two. Lindia and my dad have worked together for over a decade and are also very close friends.

Anyway, today, after the conference was over, she and I sat down and had a drink and just chatted about everything: family, work, the conference, church, health, chaos, and goals. As she was telling me a story about some events going on with her family she said that she has had to continuously remind her husband to have faith in God over the situation, "Where is your faith?"

"Where is your faith? Don't you trust that God is able to fix this? Don't you trust that He can resolve this situation better than you or I could? Where is your faith?"

In my life, there are so many things that I have to be grateful of, no denying that. There are some areas that I feel like I am so desperate for help and so desperate to get to where I want though. I think that I almost need to get this tattooed on me, "Shannon, where is your faith?"

Psalms 37:4 says "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."

Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

Hope and a future... why can't I seem to remember that?!

Of course, we all know Proverbs 3:5 & 6: "Trust in the Lord always and lean not on your own understandings; in all ways acknowledge him and He will make your paths straight."

Easier said than done, right?

Well, I ask that you, my brothers and sisters, would pray for me that I might trust in the Lord more and always remember to keep my faith in Him.
