Abiding in the Vine
Growing in Faith
Scripture
“Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope.”
— 1 Thessalonians 1:3 (KJV)
Reflection
Faith is not the absence of doubt; it is the willingness to keep trusting God in the presence of doubt. 1 Thessalonians 1:3 comforts us: "Remembering without ceasing your work of faith…" Honest faith brings its questions to the Lord and waits. He is not threatened by your wrestling. He is gentle with sincere hearts. Today, bring your doubts to Him and ask Him to deepen your faith. He will.
Prayer
Lord, increase my faith. Help me to trust You in the small things and the great. Amen.
