Active Faith

When was the last time your faith smelled a little… active?

Proverbs 14:4 says a stable without oxen is clean, which is true, but also deeply suspicious. Suspicious like a room everyone agrees not to ask about.

Everyone wants blessings without the byproduct. Purpose without inconvenience. Fruit without the mess that produces it. A tidy faith that never requires boots, gloves, or explaining what you just stepped in.

Real growth usually makes things inconvenient. It interrupts the vibe. It leaves evidence.

Maybe holiness is not about staying fresh. Maybe it’s about being willing to air the place out.

Questions for the Week and Strong:

1. What part of your faith would immediately require a hose?

2. What blessing do you want without dealing with what comes out the back end?

3. Are you doing the work or just stepping carefully?

This Week in Prayer and Avoiding Certain Areas:

God, help me stop praying for movement and then acting offended by where it lands. Help me not panic when there is evidence on the ground that something alive passed through. And lastly help me keep walking instead of pausing every few steps to check the bottom of my shoes. Amen.
