Faith is not abstract but substantial and evidential. A faith that produces no result is like a tree that has never been fruitful. Life is seriously too business-minded for you to keep drawing blanks, just as it is a criminal offence to issue bank cheques that bounces! Imagine how disappointing and depressing it'd be for a trying to conceive couple to keep shooting blank every month or for your hardwork in investment to continuously yield nothing. It is better imagined than experienced, I must say.
Peter had gone fishing all night and caught nothing. A familiar result-oriented routine just failed! He deployed all the rules in the playbook and kept the deal as professionally transparent, yet nothing to show; Have you ever wondered what failure felt and the cynical stigma it attracts? Crashed marriage, businesses, betrayed trusts, etc. Every effort to secure the bag and keep afloat fails? You sure need Jesus to guarantee and secure your evidence. A word from Him will turn your tide!
