Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Faith can move mountains, but don't be surprised if God hands you a shovel.” Author Unknown

“So take heart, men, for I have faith in God... He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land...Acts 27 ESV

Although faith has moved God to work miracles without natural means, God ordinarily chooses to use them. When God promised Paul that He would rescue everyone on the boat from a violent storm, they still had to swim for their lives after being grounded on a reef. We should make no mistake, God saved them, and He used the natural means of swimming to do so. Faith understands that natural law is just as much the hand of God working in the world as any miracle. When an open wound heals it is God's power closing it. We should not be surprised that when we pray for health, God may encourage us to change our eating habits or if we pray for provision He may put us to different work. 11/30/2010 Conversations Within ts (Between GA)
