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. So, you see, it is impossible to please
God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that there is a
God and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. Hebrews 11:1, 6 NLT
Your faith in God today is
your lifeline to His heartbeat. Faith is the hand that reaches up and takes
hold of God’s promises and gathers in the spiritual treasures that are found in
Christ. Faith sees the sunshine of God’s face, even when there are dark clouds
all around.
It is quite an experience the
first time someone flies in a plane. The sky may be covered with dark clouds,
but soon after takeoff, the plane breaks through the clouds. The passenger
quickly discovers that the sky is still blue and the sun is still shining, even
though things look quite differently below.
What things are possible for
you today thought faith? All things are possible, because your faith is in the
God who knows no impossibilities.
- When the things that you are experiencing don’t make sense, faith says, “God knows what He is doing.”
- When your resources don’t match your need, faith says, “God is my provider.”
- When you are fearful to take the next step, faith says, “God will not fail me.”
- When you’re not sure what to do next, faith says, “God will guide me.”
- When you are in a situation that seems impossible, faith says, “Nothing is too hard for the Lord.”
When I was a new Christian
living in Southern California, I applied to a Bible school in the Midwest. The
school accepted my application. Along with the application, the school sent me
the date that they wanted me to arrive and start my classes. I bought a plane
ticket and started getting things in order. The night before my flight, the
local weather forecast reported that the area would be covered with thick fog
in the morning. My flight was scheduled to leave early that morning. Instead of
worrying about it, I got on my knees and asked the Lord to lift the fog. By
faith, I knew that God would answer that prayer. I told the person who was
taking me to the airport that God would lift the fog, and that my flight would
not be canceled. The next morning we headed out to the airport under clear
skies.
