God Bless You!
What are the functions of our muscular system? Yes I know this is not science class and neither am I a science teacher but just bear with me so I could show you how my question is relevant to our faith. Without going in-depth I could tell you that our muscular system has 4 main functions: 1. It allows us to move, (from a simple finger bending to running a marathon). 2. It helps us with posture, it allows us to stand (our skeleton will not stand on its own if muscles were not attached to it). 3. It gives us stability (our muscles not only give us strength but help us keep our entire system together and running properly). 4. Our muscles produce heat and help in proper blood flow through our entire system. Now let’s compare this to our Faith: 1. Our faith is what allows us to keep moving and pushing forward even when things seem impossible (from the smallest of issues to those that seem to have no solution – it’s our faith in God that allows us to keep going and believing for the best. 2. Our faith and trust in God help us withstand any type of situation, it allows us to not only help ourselves but help others keep it together during the hard times. 3. Our faith in God keep us stable and firm no matter what the circumstances; our faith keeps us focused knowing that God will keep his word and promises. 4. Our faith in God allows the Holy Spirit to work in us; purifying and restoring us with its all-powerful fire. How is our faith today? Are you using your spiritual muscle correctly? Do you think it’s a coincidence that our heart is an organ formed of muscles? No coincidences in God; He made everything perfect and with a purpose. Examine your heart today and check to see if your faith muscle is doing what it’s supposed to. Grow your muscles and use them correctly...they will make you very strong!

Romans 1:17 “This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
