FAITH

” FAITH IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT WHAT WE HOPE FOR WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN; IT GIVES US ASSURANCE ABOUT THINGS WE CANNOT SEE.” HEBREWS 11:1

Hoping for something and believing for something are two different things. We all hope that we will overcome our struggles. We all hope that we will be healed of whatever is ailing us. But do we believe it will happen? Faith is having the confidence without seeing the result. When we pray to God to meet our many needs we should pray with confidence. After praying to him we should begin to thank him for what he has done whether we have seen the result or not. We should begin to give him praise for his mighty grace that he bestows upon us each and everyday. You see, if we believe without a doubt when we pray then our prayers, within his will, have been answered. Our God in heaven does things on his timetable and not ours. Just because we cannot see the answer immediately doesn’t mean God hasn’t answered. That is why it is so important that we build upon our faith each and everyday. As our faith grows stronger we will be able to believe and not doubt. We can thank him with confidence and act upon that faith. Our faith must become a part of us. It must become a way of life. Without a strong faith it is impossible to believe that we will receive anything from our Lord. But with a strong faith we will be able to believe, receive and walk with confidence. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
