“Faith is believing even if you do not see.” It is a complete trust to God without any doubt. It is reliance to his power and not on your own. Hebrews 11:1 says “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Verse 3: “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” You may say that Faith is as easy as that. It is like believing that air is existing just because you can feel it though you can not see.
Verse 13: “All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on the Earth.” Our faith in God is measured by the problems we encounter. How we face our trials and pressures shows how little faith we have on our God. Yes, we believe that there is a living God who gave us eternal life. The only Savior who can save us from our sin. Yes, that is Faith. Believing in something who has yet to come.
Holding to a promise that is sometimes when we go on with our lives we tend to forget. Maybe it was a promise that is taking so long. Maybe we are impatiently waiting for God to save us on our misery lives that sometimes we tend to neglect that he has already saved us from it. The mere fact that you wake up and held a breath on a sunny morning is a blessing in disguise already. Why don’t you say a little prayer of thanksgiving for that? Some people may never wake up. But you, you were blessed. You were given a chance to wake up in the morning because somebody up there in the heavens above is watching over you. Because he loved you so much that he is willing to give you another chance to live your life here on earth.
Sometimes we are blind to see that God is already on our side. Holding us when we can not walk anymore. We were so busy and we never paid attention to that little faith we had. As if we can not wait for his perfect time and that we have to hurry with the results right then and now.
Everybody has a problems. A normal person will always have a problem. But sometimes that problem is not for us to solve. Sometimes we just need to relax and let God do the work. It’s easy said and done. Relax while inside of you your cramming and panicking. Yes you have faith be it little or big it does not matter because a Christian faith must be grounded in truth.
Sometimes we missed the truth and continue on with our own lives. Faith is so deep that I can not fathom it myself. It is very vast that a mind can not fully understand without knowing the truth. In James 2:14 says “What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?” In verse 18: “But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds and I will show to you my faith by what I do.” Verse 19: “you believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that – and shudder.” We have to do something with our faith or it will just be stagnant. Go and read your bible. Pray to a God that listens to our hearts. Fix your relationship with God and everything will follow. We need to know the truth about God. And we all know that the truth can be found in his word. We can not understand God’s ways for we are only human. But I believe that the truth hidden in the bible will help us. It will free us from all the hearth aches, bitterness, anger, jealousy, pressures, stress and loneliness.
Our faith must be sustained like food sustains our physical body. Our faith must have the truth as our foundation or else everything we believe in, everything we have put our trust in will collapse. And eventually doubt will creep in our veins, eating us slowly. And before we knew it we were gone astray. We have run away from our first love. You have hurt the only one who have accepted the whole you from the very beginning.
Every single truth that we need to know about God is found in every word in the bible. In 2 Timothy 3:16 it says “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” Verse 17: “so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
So as a nurse feeds the patient who has an NGT, slowly but surely we will be able to digest the verses that once in our life we have accidentally ignored. Let us take time to read our Father’s love letters.
Let us not hurry in the results of the things that happen in our lives. Let just take things slowly and pray that as we grew older, our stay here on earth will not be put to vain. Let us cherish every second we breathe and let God’s plan in our lives be our desire. May God bless us Johnstonians as we touch others lives. Let us be the salt and light of the Earth. Representing our Father in heaven.
