When Faith makes Sense

Wow! What an awesome and busy week. The weekend is finally here. I look forward to see all of you out this Sunday.

Galatians 6:4 (The Message) 4-5Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.

We must all do our creative best in every area of our life. With our giving of our time, talents, and treasurers. The first step in doing our creative best is making an inner exploration of who we are verses what we do. We do this by not looking at where we are at, but what God has placed in our hearts.

Let me say it like this, faith and sense is not the same thing. It is an anatomy. An anatomy is two things that seem to contradict one another but in a real sense both are true in their own right. Faith is not sense and sense is not faith. When faith makes sense it is because you have the revelation of Jesus Christ. As the Captain of the Lords Host. As the leader and commander of His people. In John 2:1-10 Mary says whatever he instructs you do, do it! Jesus says, fill the water pots. The servants fill the water pots with water – that makes sense. Jesus says, draw the water out. The servants draw the water out – that makes sense. Now Jesus says, go and take it to the governor - now wait a minute, that doesn’t make sense. Why? Because the governor did not ask for water, he asked for wine. They received a miracle when they did it by faith, even when it didn’t make sense. When faith makes sense is when you do it by command.

It is not where you are going but who are you following. The steps of a good man or woman are ordered by the Lord. In every command of God (He never suggests anything) you have a capsule of the promise of success. What we need is for God to give us a command to do something. And what is inside of that command of the Lord Jesus Christ is a promise of success.

Today, take time out and make sure you are doing your creative best. Don't compare yourself to others or set your goals to others, No let your goals and visions be breathed on by God and see Him come through for you.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark
