Just Saying It May Not Make It So
I am not talking here about being saved. I am thinking about building greater faith. I expect I will know how much faith I have when I am in the fox hole with bullets zinging overhead. Does anywone remember when Jesus said we would do greater things than He? No one ever seems to talk about it, speculate about it, shares with anyone about it.
In fact, I do not see much said about Faith at all. I'll wager many believe all they have to do is just say it. Not so fast! I am not so sure! Faith on the lips may not be faith in the heart.
A man is on a long journey to find the promised land, maybe it was heaven, maybe it was greater faith. He comes after a long struggle to a place resembling Niagra Falls. There is a man there with a barrel taking people across a deep divide in the barrel while walking on a wire between the present spot and greater faith.
He says jump in. Our hero says let this one behind me go first while I rest. The wire walked takes the one behind across walking on the wire and returns. Ready to go? I am thinking about it our hero says. You saw me take the other person over the man with the barrel he is told. The wind is blowing harder now our hero answers. It will die down soon.
And he did.
