Guest preacher Bill Fennell delivered a convicting message tonight about faith. He defined faith as "obeying God even when it isn't logical, comfortable, or desirable." He spoke out of Hebrews 11, and touching on the second part of verse six, told a story about his young son, Trevor.
His family was at the dinner table and Trevor asked "Daddy, may I have some potato chips please?" Pastor Fennell responded, "Yes, you may." But Trevor didn't take any. Then he asked again, "Daddy, may I please have some potato chips?" "Absolutely, Trevor, take some chips." Trevor responded, "No Daddy, I want you to give them to me, you have bigger hands."
Oh, how wise and happy the Christian who will cease from trying to attain the things he wants and just obey God and let Him do the blessing. He's better at it anyway.
