I post this post as a mean of a reflection on the importance of how we perceive faith to be. It’s important to perceive something accurately. What you perceive becomes what you believe in. What you believe in, becomes how you live.
I believe that knowing what you belief in is fundamental in living a life of purpose. I see so many people in this modern era chasing after everything without pausing to actually contemplate on what actually ARE their beliefs. At some distance later, they become disorientated because after all the chasing, they suddenly wonder what are they running after. And worse, not knowing where to place their trust in because they don't have a clue what to they believe in in the first place.
More so for Christians. We should know what we believe in and what our faith is all about. If not, we could be allowing ourselves to reach a point of disorientation even in our faith in God.
Is faith a gradual step by step progressive process of a monotonous journey or is it a momentous manifestation of an eye popping mind boggling occasion that goes down in history books? Should we be contended with just being faithful with our Christian duties week after week even if it doesn’t have any exciting explosive faith happenings? Or should we strive ala desperado for moments of insane manifestation of faith happenings and dismiss the time gap in between as unimportantly irrelevant?
Many believers today are unknowingly confused and often living their daily lives leaning to either extreme of one of these perceptions of 'faith'.
Let us look at both premises and how sometimes we face this challenge in living our lives with faith.
Do we settle for a mundane quiet ‘just-like-that’ Christian faith life? Or do we believe for powerful out-of-this-world stuff to happen? Do we believe in both? If in both, how exactly?
Great! I think I’ve successfully spurred you to think further and deeper about this. Over the course of my next few posts, I hope to unravel some truths in regards to this that I believe will help you live a powerful victorious life of pertinacious faith.
God bless you!
