Faith

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ~ Hebrews 11:1


Please forgive me if you have heard about my "eggs dilemna", but I just have to offer God some praise for His faithfulness.  Sometimes the battles we face are not that big in the scheme of things, but they still present us with a challenge to operate in faith.  For me, this challenge is to be able to eat scrambled for a medical test.  

I'll admit it.  I am a picky eater.  I can eat hard boiled eggs, but that's it.  An egg cooked in any other way pushes my regurtitation button.  I don't like the texture of it in my mouth.  However, I don't have a choice.  I have to do this "hard" thing.  Life is like that.  Every thing is not going to always be easy.  We are not always going to get things catered to our personal taste or want.  So even in this "eggship" God is also teaching me humility, patience, and pererverance. 

I am also increasing my faith because eating the eggs will require God to show up in a supernatural way on my behalf.  This "test" requires me to have assurance in what about I do not see.  I have tried unsuccessfully in the past, but I know what God can do.  I know that nothing is impossible for Him.  I know that He hears my prayers and will provide for my needs.  I have been preparing in advance for this test with prayer and  calling on all of my prayior warriors.  I am  also trying to acclamate my stomach to eating the dreadful eggs, but my trust is not in me.  It is soley in Him.

I am happy to say that today I was abble to eat half of an egg.  A huge stepp for me.  I did not accomplish this on my own and I know that God has even greater in store for me.  This test of my faith is being transferred to other areas of my life.  It reminnds me to not limit God.  It reminds that He cares about me in the natural and spirit.  He is my Lord and when I walk in faith, even in the small things, I please Him. ( Hebrews 11:6)
