Thought For Today - 9/19/09













Often in Yoga class I tell students that as they develop their Yoga practice, it will not so challenging. In the beginning, you use all of your muscles for every posture. Many times students don't know what to do, so they just tense everything. Later on in their practice, they can explore the practice in a more subtle way, experiencing the shifts it creates in their body.

The same is with FAITH. Believing God’s Word concerning any area of your life and acting in line with that Word is faith. The force of faith is activated by hearing and believing God’s Word. It is a spiritual force produced by the permanent Word of God in your heart.

You see, faith is simply believing what we hear. It’s believing what we read and what we say. If we believe what we hear, say and read, and we let it get deep in our hearts, soon faith will rise up within us and see to it that everything we hear, say and read comes to pass. The faith that rises within us gives God an opening to bring His promises to pass.

Much love,
Joseph
