[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1123094, member: 17956"] I spend a lot of time thinking about faith. How much do I have? How much should I have? Do I share my faith with others? Is my faith for use, or just for show and tell? Like many Christians, I often read the book of Job. Job is a lesson in faith, but I often empathize with his wife. Job was tested past the limits of a normal man. He lost his children, he lost his possesions, he lost his wealth, and finally he lost health. When he was about as low as a man go, his wife. The one he loved, and trusted the most suggested that he curse God, and die. We forget that every adversity that Job faced, she also faced. They were her children to. She shared in Job's wealth etc. etc. She was not stricken with an illness, but she was left with the job of caregiver. She will lalways be remembered, as the one who encouraged Job to "curse God, and die". I see her more as an example of someone that had reached the limit of her faith. For some their faith is great, and for some their faith is small, and for some their faith doesn't exist. At some point we all have to decide How much faith do I have? I personally, don't want to have to find the limit of mine. I did once pray, that my faith would be molded. I suggest that a Christian not pray that prayer unless you are ready for the consequencies.
