Do you believe?
This past Sunday’s message was about those times when it is not our own faith that carries us through–it’s something greater. As we prepare for Thanksgiving it is important to remember those who may be in a difficult place. We don’t have to look far to see people going through difficult things and yet it can be so easy for us to miss the opportunities to reach out to them. Maybe we are the ones just hanging on by a thread. In such times, our faith may be challenged and all we have left in us may be this prayer, “I believe, help my unbelief.” It is one thing to believe Jesus is our savior, it is another to believe and trust with all our hearts that he will save us. In my first message at Saint James I talked about how Jesus wants our hearts and the many ways and times in which Jesus’ saving power comes. I hope that you will take some time away from holiday business and examine your heart, renew your hope, and look to Jesus to save you from whatever you need saving from–be it big or small–nothing is too great or small for Jesus. Do you believe? I hope so, but I hope you know that God is big enough to handle our unbelief too. Peace to your life, Erika.
