A Deposit of Faith
“Jesus asked the boy’s father, ‘How long has he been like this?’ ‘From childhood,’ he answered. ‘It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.’ ‘If you can?’ said Jesus. ‘Everything is possible for one who believes.’ Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’” – Mark 9:21-24 Yesterday we talked about faith being reliance on something in attitude and action. Today, I want to share something else that’s important to know about faith — it is a gift! Faith cannot be manufactured or created, instead it’s something that’s imparted to you by God; think of it as a deposit in your heart. In the same manner you deposit a check that is worth a predetermined amount of money into your bank account, the Lord has funded your life
