SOME YEARS AGO, I picked up one of those plastic water cooler containers at a nearby yard and converted it into a piggy bank of sorts…
And each time that my family and I returned from the store, we would always drop our loose pocket change into the container. It seemed like an effective way of saving for a rainy day.
Recently I took that container down to the bank, and to my surprise, the four of us had saved a rather considerable sum of money. We had done so by simply saving the dimes, quarters, nickels and pennies that had come from our pockets. Of course, the money was only available because my family had been making regular deposits for quite some time.
It occurs to me that the same can be said of our faith. Unless you and I make regular deposits into our “faith account,’ then no funds will be available when the storms of life appear on the horizon.
What about you, dear Christian? How much faith will you put into your account today? (Mike Benson)
