The Blessing of Unshakable Faith
How strong is your faith in the Lord Jesus?
My wife has unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. She believes in him with all her heart and soul. She may question things but she never doubts or questions her belief in Him.
Me? To be honest, not so much. I am weak. My faith is weak.
Did you ever hear the statement? ‘Too smart for your own good.’ That fits me to a T. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to toot my own horn, in fact, what I want to talk about is just about the opposite.
Recently, I was reading the book, ‘Twelve Ordinary Men’ and I came across a new term. When the author was discussing the Apostle Phillip, he listed off the many different types of prejudice man is capable of, along with racial, cultural and religious, he came to the term ‘Intellectual Prejudice’ – Being predisposed to disbelief because of prior ‘knowledge’. Which is where I fit in.
I’ve placed the word knowledge in quotes because it could be something ‘real and certain’ or it could be the weakest block in the foundation of my faith. I believe this definition applies to me. I think that I know better. I’ve read and learned about man’s versions of history, science and the world around us. I try to fit these things into my life, but they often contradict my faith in God and Jesus Christ. So do I really know better? Or am I just too smart for my own good?
Recent events and the direction our world seems to be going in do not help me either.
I question why God lets things like this happen?
I question why must we fight wars of religion?
I question why when God is all powerful, WHY DOES THIS CONTINUE TO GO ON?
And so my faith is shaken. I am so weak. Lord, please help me. Give me the strength to believe in you and the wisdom to understand your will. Please hold me and help me to become a better servant for you.
Those of you that have Unshakable Faith; Thank the Lord for his blessing on you.
Your brother in Christ,

I love u and have watched u grow in god’s hands I don’t believe ur faith is shaken I believe that the devil is trying his hardest to gather his army while god is gathering his and it’s a battle because the ending is nearing and it’s up to us to choose who’s side we shall walk along .
Continue to give god the glory for each day u r walking along side him if ur questioning what’s happening ur only speaking to the man upstairs and as long as u continue to strive to be the Christian our father wants u to be then u will be fine
