Charge Your Faith

Charge Your Faith

"But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit."
Jude 1:20

The book of Jude is a small book in the New Testament but has this important scripture, that tells us that we need to build ourselves up in our faith. If you have ever had your car battery go dead, you have to recharge it. Car batteries don't recharge themselves automatically, and when they go dead they are worthless. If we don't charge our faith, it can also go dead and become worthless. The way we can keep our faith charged is to keep our relationship plugged into God at all times. Just like our car battery, if we don't keep our relationship with God plugged in, all the time, we can lose it and it will be worthless. There will be many times in your life where you walk in faith, due to a health issue, job, finances, relationship, or many other situations, where you will be depending upon your faith in God to provide for you. Just like Peter, when his faith was charged he could walk on water, but when it began to fail, he began to sink. Your faith will carry you through many adversities in life, as long as you keep connected to God, and depend upon Him. God also wants to stay connected to you, and tells you that He will provide all your needs, if you will just keep your faith and trust in Him. We see many examples throughout the Bible where people like Moses, David, Abraham, Jacob and others kept their faith, by staying in a close relationship with God. If you find yourself in situations where you are struggling, maybe it's time to recharge your battery of faith, by getting closer to God, and build yourself up by the power He will provide to keep you fully charged.
