“When No One’s Looking” Faith // I Want THAT Kind of Faith
Scripture is loaded with inspiring story after inspiring story. The pages are full of ordinary men and women who do extraordinary things for the Kingdom of God. So what’s the common denominator between all of them? Their faith. The way they sidestepped temptation, they forgave like Jesus, they trusted in God’s plan...it’s awe-inspiring. And for many of us, when we read their stories of hope and trust in God, it leaves us saying: “I want that kind of faith!” One such example is Joseph, a man of God, whose story is recorded in the book of Genesis. He lived a life that was built on an immovable faith and confidence in God. And the best news of all? The kind of faith Joseph had is the kind of faith available to everyone who seeks after it.
Anyone can have a faith that looks good on Sundays. Hands stretched high during worship. Money put in the offering plate. Giving the pastor an “Amen!” during the sermon. But how about a faith that still looks good on Tuesday? A faith that works when temptation is high and there isn’t anyone to impress? How do we develop faith that works when no one is watching?
