Faith That Seems Foolish
I Sam. 15:22 • Is. 1:19 • Ps. 18:30 • Hb. 11:6
God always rewards faith and takes delight in your obedience. Sometimes, a very unusual and seemingly foolish request precedes your miracle. If you believe it’s the voice of the Lord (and it’s not illegal, immoral or fattening), do it!
