Substance

If faith is the substance what do we grab?

The fact that we "walk by faith and not by sight" is a freaky thing.

In the boat, is safty. Then we get a crazy idea to wanna be like jesus and step ON the water.

jesus smiles and says, "come on!"

We smile and freaking do it! the sound of spiting, gargeling and choking are the post reactions.

Salt water. Its cold. Its deep.

Substance? hmmmmmm...

I don't know. Maybe its just me. But I ponder the thought that walking on water or healing a sick person or even raising the dead is not the point. The point is.... Jesus.

In faith failure.... jesus is to be praised

In faith celebration..... Jesus is to be praised

Substance is trying. Substance is just stepping out and having NO idea what is next.

Example

God told Noah to build an ark because it was gonna rain... Noah had no idea what rain was

Jesus told his followers to "take up the death tool (the cross) and follow me" Follow Him where?

Substance is the perfect nothing manfested into our imperfect something to be transformed into faith that causes us to walk on a perfect nothing. (read that again to get it)

Just a Thought.....

I was entering the 6th grade and my body was changing and girls no longer had "kooties". Then I blinked.....

Jr. High School. Lol. I wont even go there at the moment. Then I blinked.....

High School. Scarey. Then I blinked.....
