Faith Friday

Mornin' Ladies! Hope you have a Fabulous and Faith Filled Friday!!

I want to share with you something that I came across this morning. I'm studying in Romans 12 right now.

"For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith." Romans 12:3 NKJV

Ok, when you first read this what question comes to mind? Yep, that's the question I always had when I read it. Do I think more of myself than I should? But this morning, something else tripped me up. A measure of faith.

So, I thought about it, and I looked it up in my MacArthur Study Bible. Listen to the commentary he gives.

"measure of faith...The correct proportion of the spiritual gift - or supernatural endowment and ability - the Holy Spirit gives each believer, so he may fulfill his role in the body of Christ. "Faith" is not saving faith, but rather faithful stewardship, the kind and quantity required to use one's own particular gift. Every believer receives the exact gift and resources he needs to fulfill his role in the body of Christ."

Wow!!!!! That's pretty sobering, I think. My question is, how much "faith" do we really have. It seems like God knows how much we need to do what he knows we're gonna do.

My hope and prayer is that we (myself included) are filled to the brim with FAITH. And, you know, we will also be seeing some FRUIT from this FAITH!!

Love Ya'll! Have a fabulous, faith filled, fruit producing Friday!!
