If we have so little faith that we don’t respond, the tiny bit we do have will tend to grow weaker." What a great statement. I was just reading today about Abraham (the great man of faith) and the Akaidah (Binding of Isaac). One of the opening lines in the story tell that it took three days to reach the mountain of sacrifice. Not only did Abraham have faith(-fullness, he had it for three days! How many times could he have doubted realling hearing the voice of God correctly in that time? But, apparently, his faith(-fullness) had already grown strong enough with earlier moments to handle this. And what greater faith will he have after this? Wow. Good stuff. Thanks for the insight. “The simple truth is that if we have enough faith to follow Christ, our faith will grow stronger as we attempt to do his will.
