You can't live by faith with a backup plan. Matt. 6:25
Many times we say we live by faith but we don't. Most people who say that are dependent on something other than God. Most have a backup plan even when they say they are acting by faith. Faith is believing God when I can't see the outcome. Faith is taking God at His word and His word alone. Then acting on what God has said with nothing to back us up if God does not come through. Faith does not work unless it is faith alone in the almighty God.
The widow of Zarephath who fed Elijah in I Kings 17:8-16 acted in faith by giving The Man of God all she had to feed herself. She had no backup plan. That was it. No more food in the land because of the drought. When she acted by faith God provided for her, not only that day ,but everyday until the rain came and more food was grown. The provision was not a barrel full of meal, but a daily supply. Every time she went to the barrel there was enough. God will always give you enough if you will walk by faith.
