Atlanta CPA...Are You Living in Faith?

You know the more I study Elijah the more envious I become of his faith. There are four obvious qualities he had that we all should try to develop in order to reach the level of faith that we desire. They are WITHOUT QUESTION, NO HESITATION, RECOGNIZING OPPORTUNITY, AND BOLDNESS.

I have a problem in knowing when God is speaking to me or if it just my wishful thinking. Elijah never seemed to have that problem. He knew when god was speaking to him. Whether it was prophesying or ministering, he never questioned God's motives. His faith was so great that he knew if God was telling him to do something it was best for the greater cause and far beyond his ability to fathom God's plans.

Elijah also acted on God's commands with any hesitation. Regardless what the ramifications of his actions or circumstances God was putting him in, his faith that God was using him for the greater purpose was more important and he knew by his faith the Lord would be with him at all times. I can only pray for such faith.
