Hey, it's Mike Henry with Follower of One, and today's episode, I want to talk about where our faith is based, or what is our faith based on, and I'm using a fragment of a sentence. 1 Corinthians 2:5, “so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.” That's from the New American Standard Bible.   What does your faith rest on? Does it rest on the wisdom of man, or does it rest on the power of God? I believe that our faith rests on the power of God, the more we can show that we make choices according to what we know Jesus would have us do. When we go above and beyond what is expected of us at work, because we trust Jesus, we demonstrate that our faith rests on the power of God.   When we can do the right thing and be bent towards serving others on a day in and day out basis, moment by moment, as opposed to trying to serve ourselves, we prove that our faith is based on the power of God. I want my faith to be based on the power of God, not just on the miracles that I see.   Not the flashy miracles. You know, it's a miracle to be- to stay married for a number of years. It's a miracle to avoid sin when sin is very tempting. It's a miracle to avoid shading the truth, or telling a white lie when you have the opportunity. Those things are miracles. We look past them often because they're common.   They're miracles that we're expected to do every day, and we look for the exceptional miracles. We look for the drama and the exceptions, but the miracle of God is that we can live based on His power on a daily basis for the rest of our lives. So we want to base our faith, and I want to base my faith, not on the wisdom of men, not even on my own wisdom or my own understanding, but on the power of God, the ability of God to make His word true in my life, even when I don't see it.    That's a challenging idea for us, but today I want to challenge you to put it to work. Today in your life, go outside of what's normally expected of you, and serve someone over and above what you might normally do.   Today, you might give a large tip to a waitperson at lunch or at dinner, or you may go out of your way to provide a gift for someone who's a service provider, like the people who clean your office or the people who deliver the mail, or your package delivery person. Let's get outside of our comfort zone and let's go and invest something - some money, some time, some energy - in our own faith. Let's go spend some money to make Jesus visible. When you do that, you're resting not on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God today. Let's do that.    Thank you for being a marketplace minister. I also would like to challenge you to consider building this into your life. Join us at followerofone.org. We have an online community there where we challenge one another to live this way, to live blessing other people so they might know Jesus, and we want to do that on a daily basis. I want my faith to make a difference in every day of my life. And I hope you do too, because then we get to experience the joy of walking with Jesus on a daily basis.   Check out followerofone.org, and also look at the marketplace mission trip. There's always another one about to happen. Sign up for the next marketplace mission trip, and join us as we practice this. Thanks very much.
