Faith under fire.....

Good evening people. Tonight was fun, i attended a friends birthday party and i had a blast.

Ok back to serious spiritual matters, remember this is a continuation of yesterday's topic - Holding on to faith when God......you know the rest.

Today i am focusing on 'Faith under fire"...Enjoy!!!

In James 1;2-4, the bible tells us that adversity helps develop and enhance faith, Those of us who believe that life owes us a free ride are often discontent with or non-appreciative of the finest gifts, i saw a quote somewhere which got me thinking, it said 'Easy living and abundance often produce a certain underlying weakness spiritually'...i told a friend and she totally disagrees so i guess this is up for discussion..lol

In the book it also says that a person who grows accustomed to life's good things may not be drawn naturally to the sacrifice of the cross (remember the rich guy that God told to sell his all and give to the poor then follow Him?..yes that guy)..this is so true because a lot of times in my life, when it seems like everything is going great, i still hold on to my prayer alter but compared to when i am in need of something specific(preparing for an exam, time to pay my next school fees, when i am ill e.t.c,we all get the jist i presume), its like my alter is always on fire....lol...and i am sure it happens to a lot of us...funny right? yes totally, Times like that i wonder what God is thinking.

Coming back to the topic of the night....faith under fire....remember the story of Job?..yes that kind of sums it up, don't you just wonder what planet that guy came from?. I brought up the topic of Job to my boyfriend last night and his response was funny but if you think about it ,i think hes right..he said he thinks Job was wired by God differently just for that purpose.

Thats it for tonight guys, we will pick this up tomorrow.

Good night and have a beautiful weekend people.. mu-ah
