When was the last time you tried to move or lift an object but hesitated because you didn’t know if you had enough strength? I couldn't lift luggage over my head a few years ago because my arms had become weak due to lack of use.
When we don’t use our muscles regularly, they become weak. Then when we need them, we question their strength. One can get a well-rounded workout by strengthening, stretching, balancing, and cardio. It prepares us for day-to-day activities where we may need to use muscles.
So, what does that have to do with faith?
As we use our faith, it grows stronger. However, when life becomes predictable and effortless, we mindlessly seek pleasures. When you engage your faith in Jesus, you trust God, who cares and considers you precious. He sees your condition and has compassion for the trial you are in. You are His beloved. So when you have faith in Him instead of depending on others, you please Him.
