Faith Drills
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians 3:12
• Salvation . . .
• Manifestations . . .
• Defense . . .
Remember
fire drills when you were in school? Fire trucks rolling up, packed with the
cutest firemen you would ever want to see? (Okay, ignore that last remark.)
Anyway, those drills were given so we would
have a sense of direction just in case of an actual fire. We knew which doors
to exit from; we knew where to line up outside the school for safety.
We have faith drills all
the time. I call them drills because most of them are not intensive; yet, they sharpen
our faith skills. These faith drills are important like those fire drills were.
We don’t want to only use our faith in emergency situations. That’s not a good
idea.
We have to develop our
faith all along the way in everything we do. And, we do that by learning to
trust, lean, and depend on God while doing our everyday routines. This keeps
Him in the forefront of our thoughts. The more we rely on Him as a real living Being,
the more we are conscious of His presence.
Subsequently, when a true
emergency comes, we aren’t calling on a God that is unfamiliar to us; but, we
are calling on the God that we have a relationship with. Through this
relationship, we have learned to know how faithful and loving He is. We have
seen how much He cares, and is concerned about all that concerns us. We have
personal knowledge of the Power that dwells within Him.
How can we have faith in God if He’s
unknown to us?
When trouble comes, we can look to John
16:33. Jesus said, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Faith Drills—Strengthens Faith so we can be of
Good Cheer!
