Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see”.
2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we live by believing and not by seeing”.
Faith is knowing in our soul what God says in His Word is true. It can’t be seen, touched, smelled or heard. It just IS.
It reminds me of the gravitational pull of the earth. It can’t be explained, but there are definite laws that surround it and it just IS. We know that the law of gravity works all the time. It is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. There is no questioning it. We learn to obey that gravity because there are consequences if we don’t.
The same analogy can be applied with faith in God. If we don’t believe in His Son, (walking by faith) we won’t be with Him in Heaven. He, like gravity, is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. We learn to obey God’s Word, because there are consequences if we don’t.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Abba God, I praise You for earthly examples of what faith is. Help us to walk with You in faith, Lord. Give us courage to always hope for Spiritual Realities we do not see yet. Continue to bless us with evidence, in our own lives, of Your Promises, soon to come. In Jesus’ Precious Name I pray, Amen.
My sweet friend Cee – your pastors blog was just so good on Friday I had to leave a comment. The funniest things hit me about people in pain, as a healer I do encouter quite a bit with my healing kits, my Reiki and my bookkeeping (believe it or not).
For some reason being with people in pain has seemed to be something I can relate to (like no kidding right, with my life experience). I know that God brought me through all of those things not just for me to be like what the heck…it was so that I could understand suffering and how to BE with people in pain. Of course I am always learning even better ways to be…of service…and I am not able to help every one…Peggy my naturalpathic (who just passed) said I was the reincarnation of pure love…I hope that I put that to good use and that she is up in heaven pointing the way for me… Have a great night Cee
