Perhaps you, like me, often feel that your faith is small and weak. One of my ongoing prayers has been that God would increase my faith, and yet I still have doubts and fears that are quite its opposite.
Yet God often uses people whose faith isn’t strong or consistent. I think of Gideon, chosen by God to judge his people and lead them against their enemies. Or Moses who wanted God to send someone else to Pharaoh. The prophet Habakkuk questioned God, wondering what in the world he was thinking. David’s psalms often describe his doubts about God’s care.
A bit different example is Peter. You may remember that he was so sure of his faith that he told Jesus that he would never desert him only a few hours before denying him three times. His story is a warning not to overstate the depth of one’s faith based on feelings. Faith isn’t faith until it is tested.
As we learn about the walk of faith, Abraham’s story will guide us as God’s Spirit speaks through the life of the great patriarch of Israel.
My prayer is that God will use this study to grow us all in faith throughout the journey of life. Even though we can expect to continue to have ups and downs in how well we trust God, may he bring the downs to a closer level with the ups!
Each lesson is accompanied by a free short video story of a women’s journey walking by faith. Before you begin your study, you may want to watch the introduction at https://vimeo.com/album/4254816/video/191561167 where I share my own story of struggling to walk by faith when I was slandered.
