THE COST OF UNBELIEF

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

How is your faith quotient? On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rank yourself? Every day, I marvel at the faith most of us exercise without even thinking about it.

We drive our cars 100-120 kilometers per hour with an oncoming car doing the same with only a white line and six to eight feet separating us. We place our faith that every car will not cross into our lane. We fly on airplanes that take us over oceans, trusting the pilots with our very lives. We ride on thrilling amusement rides that take us several stories

into the air and travel fifty to seventy miles per hour down a winding slope. We trust the operators of that ride with our own mortality.

There is a great irony in the fact that we can place our faith in such things but cannot place our faith in the hands of our Creator. God got angry with one of His priests named Zechariah when he questioned His angelic messenger about his wife becoming pregnant with John the Baptist.

Zechariah was struck mute because of his unbelief for nine months until the birth of John the Baptist. What consequence have you suffered from a lack of faith? Jesus is always looking for faith on the earth. Is there an area in your life where you have not been able to trust God? Why not repent of your unbelief and place your faith totally in His hands today?

Prayer: Bind and cut out the spirit of unbelief from your heart; ask the Lord to increase and strengthen your faith.

Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 11:1-6
