Have Faith!

In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

 

Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”


“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.

  

“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

  

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.


And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:20-25



SO after Jesus and his boys stay in this town they get up in the morning and leave. Peter says, "hey Jesus remember that tree you said would never bare fruit, it's dead!" Jesus just says, "have faith in God!" It's just weird to me that these guys that have been following Jesus still are amazed by what He does. Yeah they are human but they are walking with Him. I wonder who I would be if I was around when Jesus was around???



SO yeah...I sit here on my soon to be Betsey's old computer writting about how lame these guys are. But I look at my life and still have questions. Jesus says, HAVE FAITH IN HIM! Why is it so hard. I want to have faith like Jesus wants and expects us to have. Knowing that when He says something is going to happen...it's going to happen! When He says NO...it means NO!!!!!!!! It's easy to sit and type but being out and living this...that's where the rubber meets the road. 



SIDE NOTE: I love Andrew Zimmer and his Bizzare Food...he just drank lizard infused sake!


God please give me the faith to live in this world. Let me walk, run and fall into ways that I can have my faith tested. I know that when I am tested I learn. I sometimes don't know why I ask you things I ask you but I know that I need to. Slowly make me a man of faith and let me be an example to the humans around me. Make me strong! Make me bold! Humble me!
