FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.

FAITH WILL MAKE YOU MOVE TOWARD THE PROMISES OF GOD, FOR FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.

FAITH THAT IS SEEN IS NOT FAITH AT ALL, IT IS EASY TO BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU CAN SEE BUT, THIS IS NOT FAITH. FAITH IS WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING/SOMEONE YOU HAVE NOT SEEN.

WE USE OUR FAITH ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN IT COMES TO MATERIAL THINGS, FOR INSTANCE, SITTING IN A CHAIR BELIEVING IT WILL HOLD US, GETTING INTO OUR VEHICLE AND JUST CRANKING IT UP, TURNING ON THE FAUCET WITH NO DOUBT THAT WATER WILL COME OUT, ETC. ETC. ETC.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FAITH IN GOD, IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE TO QUESTION GOD'S EVERY COMMAND, HIS EVERY INSTRUCTION AND HIS EVERY DIRECTION - THIS IS NOT AN ACT OF FAITH.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD IN ALL THINGS!!!
