Day 109 - Priming the Pump

"You have to get the pump primed sometimes. It takes faith."

My Pastor, and father-in-law, has often said of faith that it is like going to the fireplace and saying to it "Give me heat!" It doesn't work. You have to put the wood in first and then the flame and you will get heat. Faith is what we put in first and then the fire of God comes and brings us heat or results if you will. 

Our faith is expressed in our words and actions. The Apostle Paul quoted a scripture in 2 Corinthians and applied it to the believer today that we believe therefore we speak. Our words should reflect what we are believing God for. Similarly our actions should represent our faith. Just like Noah building an ark before there was ever a drop of rain we need to act on our faith. 

Today speak words of faith. Today act according to your faith. As you do the results will come. 

What steps of faith have you taken when you didn't see the results? How can we change our words to reflect our faith?
