Faith

I was watching a christian movie the other day "Facing the Giants"... and one part caught my attention:

The coach was very disheartened about what was happening, and was asking the pastor about what it means to have faith... and this was the reply.

"There are 2 farmers, both desperately crying out for rain. Both were in dire need for rain, and both looked to God for help. Yet only 1 of them went out to prepare the fields, so that when the rain came, he'd be ready. Which of the farmers do you think had greater faith?"

Interesting food for thought eh... How often do we just sit back and wait for God to take the first step... only to grumble when we don't see things moving? What's the attitudes of our hearts when we pray? Are we really enTRUSTing our situations to God?


"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1

I agree. There needs to be some proactive-ness mixed with prayer and faith.
