Hebrews 11:23-29
Bees are needed to pollenate flowers, trees and vegetables in the garden. The problem arises when they sting and leave a swollen lump. Now the bees that make honey are not the problem because they are more docile. The aggressive bees that attack are yellow jackets. Recently I was stung by one of these bees. It was an unprovoked attack. All I was doing was sitting outside and enjoying the evening. I am now highly motivated to do something with the bad bees. I know how too easily make an effective bee trap and I have all the ingredients to make a bee trap… but I do not have a bee trap. Why? The answer is simple. I have not put the knowledge and the ingredients together to work on the problem. In Hebrews 11:23-29 we see that Moses was noted for his faith. However, if you look back in his life you can see times when he acted on his own without depending on God (Exodus 2:11-15). Our action can never be called faith when God is not relied on completely. Moses learned that lesson and he became a great prophet and leader for God. Today we can say that we know all about faith and we may have all the pieces needed like my incomplete bee trap, but it is not faith until it is assembled and used. Remember that faith in God is not real faith until it is put into practice and God is depended on completely. Ask God to increase your faith in Him by increasing your vision of Him and His plans for your life.
