I find your lack of faith disturbing
Amazingly powerful statement. Who said that? Sounds like something Jesus or the disciples might say or maybe even one of the prophets of the old testament. Want to venture with a guess at chapter and verse? Well, it's not a quote from the bible. Imagine my surprise when I learned it's a quote from the movie Star Wars, spoken by none other than Darth Vader. Yup. Darth Vader. The topic of faith has come up a great deal recently in various conversations. My mind keeps going back to the scripture found in Jude verse 20. "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost," . Please read until the end of the chapter. What I love about verse 20 is the admonishment to build yourself up in faith, not relying on someone else and God even told us how to do it - pray in the Holy Ghost. There you go. Asked and answered. How powerful is that scripture? Amazing. God provided the path. Now its up to us to grow in grace and faith and one way to ensure that WILL happen is through prayer. Wow. So what is our excuse for lacking faith? Well simple answer and excuse is that human nature causes us to doubt or exhibit fear. But stand on the promise you just read. Pray in the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit and you will be in the process of building up your faith. Can I hear an amen somebody?
