Faith.... hows yours?

The soundtrack:


Let's talk....

Today's word is FAITH.

Faith is the principle possessions of a spiritual life.
Scripture tells us that without it, it is impossible to please God.
Faith is unshakable. If it can be moved - it's not truly faith.

Faith is a surrender to those things that God has promised, it says "Let God be true, and every man a liar."
Once we establish what we have faith in, we can move confidently towards our goals.

We discover our faith when we face adversity. It is in those trying times that we find out what we really believe. Life is the 'proving ground' for faith - It will find you out. Life will surely challenge you and help you discover what you believe.

This testing is good, it shows us ourselves and grants us the opportunity to grow. Through this testing of our faith we discover who we really are, not who we - or others - think we are. Sometimes what we find in ourselves is heartbreaking, and sometimes what we find is joyful. But it's always our authentic self we find.

A young couple was having a discussion, the wife had heard some stories about her husband and was questioning him about them. Before he would give an answer he asked "Who are you going to believe, me or them?" It may seem a defensive question, but it really is the foundational question that God asks us - "Who are you going to believe?"

It truly doesn't matter WHAT God says - if we are unwilling to believe Him. Faith is our spirit's simple declaration - "Yes God, I believe YOU!"

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Has life tried YOUR faith?
