Luke 17:5 NASB "The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”"I needed to let go and let them hold the rope! Today's verse is rather simple to read but so hard to put into action! The instructor said "yes, just drop over the edge and begin to slide down!" While training for the Fire Department, we had to learn to rappel down the side of a building, that meant putting my faith in three things. One was the men who were holding the rope and two was myself in letting go and climb over the rope and three was the rope itself. Putting my faith out there, living it, was a lot harder than just saying the words "I believe!" From today's scripture, these men knew they needed more faith so they simply asked for it. I wonder, when was the last time we simply asked for our faith to increase and what better place to go for it than our Lord and Savior! Oh yeah, I made it to the bottom with no problem and found myself having more faith in the men, the rope and myself! Putting our faith into action will increase our faith, so let's get out there and do it! peace, tom
