Do You Believe?


I read a book called "Saint" by Ted Dekker... There was a passage that talked about believing. Faith... is that not the key? I am not an author so i am going to write some of the lines from the book that really spoke to me...

"You are chosen! We are all chosen, but you for a specific task; which depends on your belief. " and "he couldn't just believe in some unseen, unfathomable Creator who refused to show his hand unless properly summoned! It made no sense. The stuff of a child's fantasy. Unless you become like a child...

When i read this, it made me think about having faith and being chosen... do i believe i am chosen for a specific task? Has God hand picked me to do something that he hasn't asked anyone else to do? And do i have the faith... do i believe that i can accomplish the task? But it is simple... unless i become like a child "in my faith". Do i trust God that when He says go! that he will provide. When he says wait! will i be patient and trust that he knows best?

I know this book is a fictional book but i believe there is nothing fictional about the truth that is spoken in these words.

The Bible says... we are a chosen generation... do you believe? For such a time as this... do you believe? Say to the mountian "be removed" and it shall if you have faith as a mustard seed... do you believe? Do i believe? Do we believe?

The Bible also says... i can do all things through Christ that gives me strength! I do believe! I do believe! I do believe! "From the heart the mouth speaks" I do believe!!!!!!!!!!
