Keziah and Jehoshaphat

Let me tell you a story:

Keziah and Jehoshaphat were very good friends but for many years lived very far away from each other. One day, Jehoshaphat told Keziah that he would be coming to visit her and he would be bringing as a gift one of the desserts that his town was famous for. Keziah was so excited when she heard this that she told all of her friends about his visit and the dessert that he was going to bring. She expected him to visit and she expected to taste the dessert he was going to bring. She had put all of her hope in him coming because she trusted his character and she knew that if he said that he was going to come and if he said that he would bring a dessert with him then that is what he was going to do. One day, as she was thinking about his soon arrival, God spoke to her and said, "Why can't you have faith in me like that?"


Moral: Everyday we have faith in people and things but what about our faith in God? Can't his word be trusted like the word of the chef who brings you your food that you didn't see him prepare, or a doctor who says he has to cut you open with a knife then stitch you back together and everything will be alright? Trust God like you would trust your best friend. Trust His character. He is honest, faithful, trustworthy, loving and everything good.


Have faith =)
