Faith that Works

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

When God called an old man named Abram into the desert - He didn't show him a map or a family tree, He told him to obey and follow. When He called Moses through a fiery plant, He didn't lay out a plan of escape or attack, He told him to go and speak. When Jesus asked rough handed (and I'm sure rougher mouthed) fishermen to leave their poles and nets, He didn't give them a prospectus on how to change the world - He just called them to follow.

You know why we have heard these stories? Simply put; these ordinary characters did what they were asked and as a result became a part of something extraordinary.

I can't help but think that I have rarely experienced life-changing, mountain-moving, no-explanation-other-than-God kind of FAITH simply because when He has come a calling - I have pulled out a notepad and responded with a list of questions... Sometimes He answers because His patience is everlasting, but sometimes I wonder if He simply moves on to someone else...
worth considering......
