Got Faith?  

The Bible says, “And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.” Exodus 4:2-7 (KJV)

You talk about faith. Anyone who knows anything about snakes knows you secure the head of the beast and not the tail if you don’t want to get bitten. Many marvel at the faith of Moses for following the Lord’s command. They may miss the second event in this dialogue. When Moses, by faith, puts his hand into his bosom and pulls it out…imagine the horror to have the living death disease of his day being evident upon him! Incredibly, he then, in obedience and by faith, puts his diseased hand back into his bosom. That is faith!

Do we believe our Creator God? Do we trust Him with our lives, our family, our money, our everything? Do we believe His Word?

C. H. Spurgeon said, “I would recommend you either believe God up to the hilt, or else not to believe at all. Believe this book of God, every letter of it, or else reject it. There is no logical standing place between the two. Be satisfied with nothing less than a faith that swims in the deeps (sic) of divine revelation; a faith that paddles about the edge of the water is poor faith at best. It is little better than a dry-land faith, and is not good for much.”
