Grow your Faith

My daughter asked me recently if she could plant her apple seed after eating and of course, I told her yes. She planted her seed and took a chair over to where she planted it and sat. I later asked her what it is that she was doing and she told me she was waiting for her seed to grow. I'm not sure why, but I found it very hilarious and let me add, a little strange and impossible in my mature mind.

After explaining to her that seeds takes time to grow - some more than some - the Holy Spirit highlighted the subject of childlike faith to me.

As a young Christian, I recall many instances in my Christian journey where I had childlike faith. I believed everything without questioning and if I was told something along the lines of faith I would fall for it without discerning if there was truth attached. Childlike faith is good, it has its place where we should be quick to believe God for a thing in such a way that our childlike faith does not question the impossibilities before our eyes. The flipside to this however is that childlike faith must evolve into growing or mature faith and a distict balance needs to be established between the two.

Our faith should never remain the same, but instead increase and evolve over time with experience and through a closer walk with God.

God wants to talk to us. He wants to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, which is our faith highlighted. There are different stages or levels of faith and God will work with us based on where we are in Him, but we will never achieve the ultimate until our faith elevates to a mature level in God.

When last have you checked your faith? Do you have growing faith?

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him ~Heb. 11:6.
