The Flavor of Salt
Days, weeks and seasons come and go before our eyes. We believe and we lose sight of our belief. Our Father knew this would happen and Jesus explains to us that it does happen. What are we to do about it and how do we overcome our unbelief? Are we suppose to or are we to continue learning, forgetting and relearning that when danger arrives our Father is there to shield us from harm? Love triumphs over evil. If we don’t believe that very simple premise then are we in fact Christians?
I need help every, single, day with my unbelief. There are moments that arise, seemingly everyday, when I find myself grasping at straws when I should be praying to God. At the end of the day, or sometime after the situation, reviewing what could have and should have been done differently sometimes helps, sometimes not. I always come back to what Paul says in Romans
15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. NKJV
This is my daily life and it is only by the grace of God that I can see to the other side and attempt to navigate a different path.

Mark 9 NKJV
17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.
18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”
19 He answered him and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.
20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him? And he said, “From childhood.
22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
