Faith is like an adventure or a trip in which we move from point “A” to point “B”.  At point “A” we exercise our faith, possible by way of praying the ‘prayer of faith’. Our problem comes as we endeavour to move from that prayer of faith to point “B”, the answer to the prayer.  How does one bridge this gap? Well, the Bible is very clear on this point in that it clearly states that we must add to our faith ‘ENDURANCE’.

Hebrews 6:12 ‘…follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.’ (New Living Translation)

In other words once we have prayed the prayer of faith we must NOT give up on expecting the answer to be forthcoming. Jesus is more interested in our faith lives than most of us realize.  Part of His current ministry is to assist us to move on to mature faith.

Hebrews 12:2 says that Jesus is the ‘AUTHOR and the FINISHER of our faith.’

Imagine being personally taught by Jesus? ‘Looking unto Jesus’ is therefore the key to experiencing the ‘finishing of our faith’. Jesus, through His Word is the One who takes us from point “A” to point “B”.  God’s ultimate plan for us is that we should live a life of faith.
Six centuries before Christ, the prophet Habakkuk said, ‘The righteous shall LIVE BY FAITH’. (This is one of the two occurrences of the word ‘faith’ in the Old Testament). This statement of the prophet is quoted three times in the New Testament, in Romans 1:17, in Galatians 3:11 and in Hebrews 10:38.  It calls on us to cover every area of our living with faith.  Let us live a life of faith!
