Read Hebrews 11:7.

Thank God He speaks!  Thank God He warns.  He’ll use every trick in the book to get through to us.  Sometimes we don’t hear Him.  Sometimes we do.  If we do, the question then becomes what will we do about it?

When God speaks, faith moves.

Yes, faith will cost me.  It will cost you.  It’ll cost us money, time, and effort in the short run and over the long haul.  It will grab the tight fist with which we hold onto things—and it will loosen it.  If it doesn’t, it isn’t faith.
