I have been thinking a lot about FAITH this week and the thought that came to my mind is the idea that like a well tuned guitar, our faith should be tested on a continual basis. With a guitar,if one does not test it (keep it tuned) then we can't be guaranteed that we will be assured of sweet 'in tune' music when we pick it up to play. The strings can 'relax' over time - on the other hand, they can be wound so tight that it only takes a bit of pressure to cause the string to snap!

Our faith needs to be used, checked, tested and adjusted, daily. It needs to be done so often that it becomes a habit, that we are ASSURED within ourselves that when we use it, its like putting on a comfortable glove. The more we use and test our faith, the deeper we can explore it's depths, the richer it becomes.

Test your faith today - and daily - keep it 'just right'

God, help me in my feeble way
To somehow do something each day
To show You I love You best
And that my faith will stand each test.

Prove me, O Lord,
and try me;
test my heart and my mind.
For thy steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I walk in faithfulness to thee.

Psalm 26:2,3

  2. Great thoughts on faith - lately we've had plenty of "external" tests of our faith going on, so I haven't taken time to think about it specifically. I definitely feel like I'm being tuned - stretched taut!!

    (thanks for visiting my blog today, btw!)

  10. Evening my friend, and yup, we all need FAITH! I don't think we can live without it- it's almost like HOPE- where there is none, life is just one hard dark journey. Faith and hope alike are what keep us seeing the *light* and keeping us from dispair. And it's special people like YOU that bring that faith back to people like me ;-)
    Popped in with my coffee- and as Loucee said- your bag is one hell of a bargain! I've played with the one set so far - and WOW, AWESOME stuff- can't wait to get to the rest now.
    Sending you much love and huggies
