581 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
*Activate Your Faith*
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
Something I have learned on this walk is that faith takes effort in different areas. We can't just sit in the pew at church on a Sunday morning and think that obsorbing what the leader shares is enough to get us connected. It's a daily connection which takes daily effort and consistent practice.
Just think about athletes. They must practice hard to find success in their careers. Even when they receive their highest honor such as the title of Super Bowl Champions the next year or months later they must go back to training hard and practicing their skills!

There are no short cuts to faith. The gift Jesus gives is not freely given because nothing is appreciated when it's completely free. He bought us back at a hefty price! I had to learn we are not just born in and set. Just like your favorite athlete had to work up to his greatest potential. He didn't just walk on the field at 21 ready to be brilliant! I do believe however some have a leg up in having strong faith because of generational flow down (Another post for another day) but still ones faith must be activated!
I love that word Activate! The Lord has put this word on my mind today. The word Activate means to turn on, start or set in motion! This is the word we must think about when we want to follow God. We are born into this world with free will. At some point in your life God will tell you it's time to activate your faith! You will know Him for he comes for all His children. When He calls on you you can activate that faith by pressing in or you can deny the moment ever even happend. It's your choice!
We can't just sit and wait but we must set the Holy Spirit in motion, seek God with all our hearts and activate our faith; Turning on that light from within.
The Challenge:
Once our lights are activated Satan works hard to dim our internal light! What are ways satan dims your light? What are some ways the Lord turns your light up? Discover the triggers and learn how to keep that light of yours in full flame mode!
