Listen "Faith Beyond Words"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever wondered what extraordinary faith really looks like? Today's episode explores the difference between intellectual assent and true powerful faith.To illustrate this difference, I share the fascinating story of Charles Blondin, the legendary tightrope walker who crossed Niagara Falls multiple times in 1859. After pushing a wheelbarrow across the tightrope, Blondin asked the cheering crowd if they believed he could carry a person across. They enthusiastically affirmed their belief – but when he asked for a volunteer to climb into the wheelbarrow, no one stepped forward. Their belief didn't translate to personal trust.This perfectly captures our spiritual dilemma. Many of us have "sideline faith" – we believe God can work miracles, but hesitate to place ourselves completely in his hands. The Roman officer, however, demonstrated wheelbarrow-climbing faith. He didn't just believe Jesus could heal; he trusted Jesus would heal, and acted accordingly.What kind of faith will you choose today? Will you remain a spectator, or will you climb into the wheelbarrow and let Jesus carry you through life's most challenging moments? Join me for this five-minute devotional that might transform your understanding of what it means to truly trust God.We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show
