A
nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little ones chests, would
plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their own hearts.
Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never got a response equal
to four-year old David's comment.
Gently she tucked the stethoscope into his ears and placed
the disk over his heart. "Listen", she said..........."What do
you suppose that is?"
He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked
up as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap - tap - tapping deep in his
chest.
Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked,
"Is that Jesus knocking?"
CONCLUSION OD SUNDAY SERMON: I HAVE FAITH…I CAN AND YOU CAN DECLARE THAT
WITH PAUL AND OTHER BELIEVERS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE. IT IS FAITH THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN OUR
LIVES…WE ALL COME TO THE PLACE WHERE WE MUST DECLARE FOR OURSELVES…. “i” HAVE
FAITH…IOT MUST BECOME OURS….YES, IT IS OFTEN A STRUGGLE AND WE HAVE WO WORK
THROUGH A LOT OF THINGS THAT TEST OUR FAITH…BELIEVE ME I UNDERSTAND THAT MORE
THAN EVER…..BUT IT IN THAT STRUGGLE THAT WE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS
ALWAYS THERE WITH US AS WE “WORK OUT OUR FAITH WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING” AS WE ARE EXPECTED TO DO.
THE OTHER ISSUE OF OUR FAITH IS
THAT IT IS A GROWING FAITH….
1. STUDYING GOD’S WORD
2. KNOWING HOW GOD EXPECTS US TO WORK ON OUR FAITH
3. KNOW WE ARE NOT ALONE AND THIS IS NOT A JOURNEY THAT NO ONE
ELSE HAS TAKEN…MANY HAVE TRODDEN THE PATH YOU MAY BE ON
4. KNOW THAT EACH DAY AS YOU WALK IN FAITH YOUR FAITH WILL GROW
AND THAT GOD NEVER LEAVES YOU HE IS WITH YOU ALWAYS
…THAT
GIVES ME COMFORT AND HOPE FOR ALL OF US…..I PRAY YOU CAN SAY WITH ME “I HAVE FAITH”
