Testing Faith

I was just bombarded this weekend with lessons about faith... and this is what struck me:

Everyone uses the analogy of a chair when they're talking about faith. We have faith in chairs that they will not collapse when we sit on them, yada, yada, yada...

But here's what I'm thinking: We can say we have faith in the chair all we want, but until we sit in the chair, we have no way of knowing for sure if it will hold us up.

So if the chair analogy holds true, then we need to test our faith in God every once in a while to convince ourselves that it's really true. That way, we'll eventually get to the point we're at with most chairs... where we can just sit down without giving it a second thought. The more we trust in God, the more it'll become second nature for us, and the more we'll put our faith in God 100% without asking questions.

So what am I waiting for? Well, I guess maybe I don't trust God as much as I think I do...
