Obedience to Faith.
You think you need more faith.
As though it were up to you. To be wise enough. To be 'spiritual' enough. To be diligent and driven and focused, enough. As though faith were a trophy to possess, a tool to solve your problems, an instrument to give you peace and the answers you desire. As though faith were something to be proud of.
"So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded [i.e. When you have obeyed], say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'" - Luke 17:10
And faith shows itself by its deeds, deeds done knowing the Master. Simply knowing Him, the Giver and Orchestrator of all things.
Because when you know the Master, your obedience will happen. Yes, when you know the Master, your deeds are merely an overflow of your obedience to Him. And your life becomes a dance with your Creator. As every movement of your life is in line with Him.
Because a servant simply obeys.
Not knowing the outcome. Not knowing the reason why. Not even knowing the procedure how. The servant simply follows, in obedience, in reliance, in complete dependence. On the Master.
And the Author and Perfecter of your faith, He shows you the kind of faith that cannot be measured. He tells you the way of freedom that is not up to you, not one bit. And He gives you the abiding rest and peace that is all of Him. Every last bit of it.
Then your faith, it remains with Him. Never on your shoulders to attain. Never in your guilty conscience to achieve. Never, never your responsibility to carry.
Because you follow the Giver of Life Who simply calls you to come as you are. And He provides all you need for life. Even your faith.
For He is the Author of faith.
