Faith is like a toothbrush

I heard it over the radio last night, 'Faith is like a toothbrush, you gotta' use them daily' .

How true is that? Everyday the first thing out from bed- brush your teeth. Every night the last thing before popping in to bed- brush your teeth. It's like without toothbrush, you day will somehow lead to a series of uneventful scenarios.

Okay for example, you have decided not to brush your teeth that morning, you head straight out to work. You said 'Hi' to your colleagues. And you keep getting the same responses from everyone else- quirky hands looks, over their nose, eyes wide open in disbelief .. .etc. You get the drill. It stinks my friend.

So what has faith got to do with toothbrush again?

Faith is the act of believing even when our naked eyes don't see it. Where does my faith in God come from?

It is said :

"But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it?...The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ's Word is preached, there's nothing to listen to".-Romans 10:17 @ The Message.

Thus, faith comes from hearing the message. And it is by grace through faith that we have been saved, a relationship between us and God is forged.

Linking that to my analogy earlier. Faith is like toothbrush because I use it daily to communicate with Him. I use it daily to believe. I use it daily to receive His promises and blessings over my life. Brush it up, brush it down. Whether your teeth is in its best condition or worst, you still gotta brush it right? In good or bad times, always maintain your faith !

Just wanted to encourage you to have faith that God will guide in your every endeavors.

Expect the unexpected today :)
