Faith in Action
I love how God works.
I work in a restaurant and we have lots of food vendors that come in every week that you build relationships with over time. We changed the company that delivers our filets about a month ago and I've been getting to know the new guy. Early on he told me that his wife is really sick and in a lot of pain but for the past year and a half docotors have been unable to identify the problem.
Yesterday, I asked about her and really felt the Holy Spirit urging me to tell him that I've been praying for Bonnie. It opened up this entire conversation on prayer and faith for healing and it turned out they are Christian. He is really discouraged but in talking with him it is obvious he has poured over the scriptures. What he told me was that he feels like the Psalm where David says the heavens are like brass and his prayers bounce back down unheard and unanswered. The more we talked the more he encouraged himself. He has recently told his wife that she needs to be like the blind man who cries out to Jesus even though he is told to be quite. They are going to begin crying out to God.
I'd really like to put our faith into action by believing with the Vaughn family as they seek the Lord.

Wow. Way to go in stepping out in faith there. You never know how encouraging that can be to people.
God must be so pleased when His people keep heart, even when their prayers and questions go unanswered. (We know God's not heartless.) It's interesting to think about. I've been thinking about Job lately,--I'd like to make time to study the whole book. The enemy challenged God then, and God tested Job, but things haven't really changed when you think about it. The enemy wants to mock God today, and God allows our faith to be tested... We have opportunities every day to stand firm and prove devil to be the liar that he is when he says that we can't make it.
