Farming 101

This has nothing to do with farming and this has everything to do with farming. You can figure it out.

Faith grows with use. We must use the little faith we have in order to develop great faith. Put it to work (cultivate it) by reverent prayer and faithful praying and it will grow stronger day by day. The man of small faith may be simply the one who has not dared to exercise the little faith he has.

Our prayer should be this: Lord, I know my faith needs to grow, so please help me to exercise what faith I have and anticipate that growth and stretching.


That was an summary of what I read today from AW Tozer. Then I went into the book of Matthew, Chapter 4, verses 18-22.

18As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 20At once they left their nets and followed him.

21Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

The fishermen became such great men of God because they used the faith that they had at the time (whether it was big or small) and they acted on it. They already had some faith (they were most likely disciples of Jesus at the time). Now they were being called to a special service. What what was their reaction?

They immediately, without reservation or hesitation, responded and left their nets, their ship, and for James and John, they left their father.

Do we have that same response when God calls us to take our next step? If we want our faith to grow, are we using the faith that we have right now?
