“What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.”
Hebrews 11:1
I’m sure you can agree with me when I say we’d all be millionaires if we got a dollar every time someone said, “Just have faith!” Am I right? Listen up guys, it is so true. All God wants from us is our confidence in Him. Knowing that always, no matter what, he’s got your back!!
Faithfulness,
Faithfulness, Faithfulness…
I struggle daily with this. My mind is invaded each day with God saying to me “Faithfulness”. So many times I want to take matters in my own hands because I don’t think God will do it right. How stinkin’ stupid I am!! Why can’t I just realize that the creator of the universe (
credentials that obviously prove he knows what he’s doing) wants me to give up, give it all to Him, not worry, and trust…trust him wholeheartedly.
Able, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab. Just to name a few, were all followers of Christ who had extreme faith. God was so pleased with his children. Pleasing God is something all Christians yearn to do.
Hebrews 11 goes on to say, in verse 6, “So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith…” Wait a minute here…You’re saying that when I don’t have faith, then I’m pretty much in the ‘dog house’ with God? Exactly what He’s saying! The
‘dog house’ is not a place any of us want to be.
You see guys, God yearns for us to put our trust in him. I realize I cannot tangibly see God. But hey, that’s what faith is! Believing in what we cannot see.
Today when you face a situation where you want to take the reigns, step back, have faith, and let God take control!
Eagerly expect God to do what is best for you. If we all succeed at that then we are one step closer to becoming the person of God’s dream.
Prayer: Amazing God, I believe in your will for me. Sometimes I don’t know where you are leading me. Help me to see that your way will always be better than my own. When I am blinded by darkness I will search for your light, God. I will search because I know, that I know, that I know, it’s there!! Faith Lord—let me walk in it! Amen
