Activating Faith

“Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1 NIV)

When a new credit card arrives in the mail, it has to be activated before it can be used. You have to call the number on the sticker attached to the card from your home phone number. Then, you have to sign the back of the card. Now the card is ready for use. If the card remains unactivated and unused for a long time, the credit card company may close the account.

“When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.” (Psalm 91:15 NLT)

Having faith is not enough; it must be activated and used. We must call on God, sign our name to His promises, and confidently put Him in charge of our needs. Faith is not meant to be stored away until a crisis hits. Practice depending on God daily--for small and large transactions. Build confidence in Him. Let your life reflect trust and assurance in the Lord.
