Faith ( Luke 17 v 5 - 6 )

Thomas Boston wrote ,''Faith is a flower that grows not in the field of nature'',true faith will only  grow within a child of God..Yes  faith can grow, by a continual trusting in God,in every situation .When we stop trusting in self,for we are told,'Trust in the Lord with all your and lean not upon your own understanding ( Proverbs 3 v 5 ).It is said that fear affects what we see, like the little hen that ran about, fearful that the sky was going to fall on him.he was driven by fear.So often we are driven by fear, like most people, but then we are not like most people, we are children of God. When we were young if someone was picking on us we tell them ,that our big brother will come and get them.So it is if the devil is picking on us,which he will,we can pray,and as the old hymn says,that says,' Satan trembles when he sees,the weakest saint upon his knees'.Remember prayer is the key to heaven but faith unlocks the door, let us have confidence in our God,to hear and answer our prayers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Guide me, O Lord a faith serene                                                                                                                That rests on Thee alone,                                                                                                                                    (Norman R.Perry )
