Hi LovingHim! Great idea for a post!
For me anyway, my faith's not up there with that little mustard seed yet, so I don't have any choice but to rely on man. I really don't think it has to stay that way though, only that it's that way now. I know this because man can't heal my wife. She has something that either faith heals or nothing heals. So she and I will have to catch-up in faith with the mustard seed or we're in trouble. We're one flesh my wife and I, so her illness is my illness. That's why she has this disease she has, so we will have no choice but to learn the faith of the mustard seed.
I think faith comes from understanding. My refridgerator taught me that!!
Ok, now's what's this crazy man saying you think!!
OK, how do you know the light goes off when you close the fridge door? Understanding. You look and see the switch, you press it and see the light going out, then you see that when the door closes it presses the switch. Will you ever be able to observe this with your own eyes? Nope. As soon as you open the door the light's back on again. It's the same as the noise a tree makes when it falls in the woods. You know it is so, but you will never be able to hear it with your own ears. That is faith. Faith comes from understanding.
That's my humble opinion anyway.
May God bless you on this precious day!
