From the Aug. 25th & 28th In Touch devotionals (www.InTouch.org):
'...God does not enlarge our faith instantly. He begins with what little we have and proceeds to grow it....
Faith is like a muscle, which must be exercised in order to become strong; just wishing cannot make it happen....
Rather than a spiritual "plateau," faith is actually a process that involves increasing degrees of trust throughout life. Little faith hopes that God will do what He says; strong faith knows that He will; and great faith believes that He has already done it....
God wants each of us to be influential in His kingdom. He knows which faith challenges to present so that we can be entrusted with even greater tasks.
The Lord will provide occasions for you to believe Him and respond in obedience. These situations are what we call "problems."
Begin to look at each difficulty as an opportunity designed by God specifically for the purpose of increasing your faith so He can do great things in and through you.'
Winners prepare for greater service.
