Measure
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13
How do you measure your faith in God? Do you measure it against what others seem to have and you don't basically relying on today's worldview? Or, do you measure it with what God has most recently done in your life but forget about the past tough times He has pulled you through. Maybe this is our problem, we are trying to compare our faith in God to something that cannot be measured by us. We have many things in our life where God has stepped down and intervened to provide us comfort, relief and love. God is using these moments to fill us up with His fullness and not for what we think He is doing. Our faith can build upon itself if we look at everything God has done, and how that has filled us into mature followers of Him. God is waiting for us to mature and attain the fullness of Him, we just need to remember to not measure where we are with our faith, but continue to build our faith in Him and His promises.
Have a great weekend.
