Every season of life brings with it opportunities for us to exercise our faith and right now, during this season of parenting our oldest son who’s just launched into the world and adulthood, navigating dating relationships with our teenage sons, and trying to keep up with our very energetic six-year-old boy who believes himself to be a donkey trainer/whisper, God is teaching me over and over again what it looks like to keep showin’ up to exercise my faith muscle.
But let me be real with you, exercising my faith isn’t always easy and I don’t always understand the how or the why behind God’s plan. But I trust Him, and I keep going to His Word and clinging to those truths and seeking Him through prayer because I want to trust Him more. I want to continue to exercise this faith muscle, learning how to have greater faith so that at the end of my life it can be said of me, “O woman, great is your faith!” (Matthew 15:28, NKJV) I’m praying this for myself and I’m praying it for you too. May today’s live give you an extra dose of encouragement to keep showin’ up to exercise your faith muscle.
