Cultivate your faith?

​“Where is your faith?” (Luke 8:25)

Charles Spurgeon understood that when it came to faith, some will choose little faith over great faith. Some will choose to be an owl rather than an eagle. Why? Because it is easier and requires less work. Some will “love darkness, and fly about its gloom and misery,” rather than do the work to increase their faith and rise above into the light. Yet, whatever morsel of faith we have, it will require our preserving it. And if we want to increase it, it will require us to do the work.

“Take care of your faith, my friends; for it's very often so weak, that it demands all your attention. I do not know whether any of you feel that your faith is too strong; but I never feel mine to be strong enough. It seems to be exactly strong enough to bear the day's troubles. I could not afford to lose even the tiniest bit of it; it is just enough, and no more. As for some of us, our faith is so weak that the least trouble threatens to devour it. The goat passes and nips its tender shoot, the winter chills and freezes it; it is almost ready to die. And my faith very often hangs upon the feeblest thread; it appears ready to expire. Take care of your faith, Christian take care of your faith. If you have to leave something outdoors and neglect it overnight, whatever you do, do not leave that little child of faith. Do not allow it to be exposed to the frost, be sure to bring your faith inside to keep it warm. Take care of faith, for it is so weak generally, it needs to be well preserved.”

Exercising your faith strengthens it.
