I heard once that “logic ends the minute Faith begins” is that really what those of us who believe in God, think?

Last week I was blessed, blessed to sit with some amazing women of Faith at a home Bible Study group. They had a visitor from Black Forrest Academy, Renee Grubb, there with them to share about ministry, about the kids that she ministers to on a daily basis and a small bit from the word.

Upon looking around the room and listening to the comments I was reminded of the Faith that it takes each of us to get through each day.  Is it ordinary Faith for ordinary people living ordinary lives?  Could we take it a step further and claim extraordinary Faith?  Is it Faith so common as a middle name or as strong as an inner belief that Faith can move mountains, draw lost people unto Him and make the lame to walk again?

More than anything I was reminded that we are called to live out what the word tells us.  Head knowledge is wonderful but if it doesn’t get lived out it is much like the talents that get buried and not used. I pray that I would be a walking, talking, living, breathing BIBLE.  That the very character that I read about in God’s word would penetrate my heart, mind and soul only to be lived out in me.

When it came time to share prayer requests I was reminded again of the exuberance or excitement of the Woman at the Well after her conversation with Christ or what about the woman with so much Faith that she knew she would be healed by just touching Christ’s garment?  What of the men that lowered another in through the ceiling for healing?   

These people had incredible Faith and reached out to Christ to change them making all the difference… much like the prayer requests shared for lost loved ones, sick people that need healing through Christ, a man whom has lost control over the left side of his body and young people trying to find their way with Christ at the center.  Are they extravagant prayers, NO but they require Faith just the same. Seems only logical to me to have Faith!

I treasure the relationships and prayer that those women exemplified to me, moreover the living breathing examples of Christ that they are to everyone around them.
