Trust in Him預覽

# Trusting God with a Little It is easy to think we could have strong faith if we had a little more—if there were money in the bank to cover unexpected bills, if the job were secure and not under threat, or if we could see how things would all work out. But in truth, that is not faith at all. Paul declared this clearly when he wrote, “We walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). The truth is that if we do not trust God when we only have a little, we would not trust Him if we had more. The widow to whom Elijah was sent during the great famine lived in a heathen country where God was not worshiped. In fact, she lived in the land ruled by the family of the wicked queen Jezebel where Baal was considered the deity. Yet when the prophet from Israel came to her home, she was willing to not only give him water during the drought but to share the very last of her food with Elijah as well. She was down to her last handful of flour—so little that she only needed two sticks to make a fire big enough to cook it, but she was willing to obey what God said. Because she trusted God when she only had a little, she and her son were saved from the famine. Faith considers the promises instead of the circumstances and acts in obedience. ## Growth Principle: Whatever you have right now is enough for you to trust God completely.
