Living out your Faith
Here are some questions to ask yourself...

1.) How are you living out your Faith?
2.) Do you seek God for all your decisions?
3.) Do you align your family with the Gospel?
4.) Are you living out your faith in your home and community?

One great Scripture story that tells us of a man living out his faith is that of Noah. How much faith do you think it took Noah to do what God told him to do? Can you imagine what it must have been like for Noah when he heard God telling him to build an ark? He probably thought, why me? I am just a simple man. What do I have to offer? But he listened. Because he was faithful and he obeyed. He checked off YES to all 4 of the previous questions. Can you say the same?

As we learned in the story of Noah, living out our faith isn't always easy. We are always going to be faced with challenges. But we have our faith to hold onto instead of hiding and saying it is just too hard. Some acts of faith might seem strange to us, or take us out of our comfort zone. But if it is the will of God you will never know who's life it will change. Maybe even yours...

I challenge you to act out your faith to everyone around you. Prayerfully ask God where He wants you to spend some extra time to change someones life.

Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-3
