Jesus asked this question on more than one occasion. Generally, His question was directed toward the apostles. Did they struggle with doubt in who they were or who Jesus was? Was Jesus asking the question to challenge their fears?
No one is exempt. All of us, at one point or another, will encounter situations creating fear and/or doubt. In those moments we should ask, where is our faith?
The need for faith will arise in the moment of trial.
The strength of our faith is tested in times of controversy and challenge.
The devotion of our faith will be determined by our endurance.
To lead spiritually requires a strong faith. Our faith cannot be in ourselves. We cannot rely solely upon our own strength and abilities. We need faith in our God. We need faith in others.
Regardless of the circumstance, the outcome will be decided by our faith.
Where is our faith?
I know that you already know this I’m going to say it anyway because of other readers and because I can’t help myself. Our faith comes from the word of God. Romans 10:17 So our personal faith is marked and measured by what of His word is inside us and comes out at the most opportune time. We live by that faith, we die, are judged and rewarded by that faith and don’t realize that this implanted word or faith is what saves us. James 1:21 We also lead by faith when it becomes part of our soul and understanding. I miss our talks. Hope to see you soon. R
