Oh You of Little Faith

I've been learning a lot about faith recently. I am slowly becoming more and more ashamed at my lack of faith. I am finding I believe more only when I see more and not just because "I know and believe God is who He says He is and He can do what He says He can do." (Beth Moore)
I question, is that really a true act of faith? Just believing what I see? How many times has God proven faithful and continued to answer prayers and show Himself in and around me? Why is it that I cannot trust Him to continue to do that before I see it happen? Why must I be a doubting Thomas?
John 20:29: "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Friends, let us be known as the centurion for having great faith.
Matthew 8:8, 10 "The centurion answered and said , 'Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed'.... When Jesus heard it He marveled, and said to those who followed, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.'"
Because of his faith, the centurion was able to see a marvelous miracle with his servant being completely healed by Jesus. With faith like the centurion, oh what miracles we could see!
Let us not be afraid to ask and believe for miracles.
Mathew 7:7,8 "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."
Do not let the reason we do not see God's miracles and wonders be because we do not ask and have faith that "He can do what He says He can do."
If we do not challenge our faith, how can our lives be changed? (Moore)
Friends, let us pray for stronger faith. Let us pray that we would have faith like the centurion and not be a doubting Thomas. Let us pray that God would stir up a generation of believers in which God is marveled by our great faith.
Let us not forget to ask for miracles. Let us not forget that God is a God who performs miracles. (Psalm 77:14)
"Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known" Habakkuk 3:2. Let that be our prayer; for our faith to be increased and God to continue to make Himself known in our generation.
