” Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1
Living a life of faith is not the easiest thing you will ever do. It takes a sincere dedication of believing in the things unseen and not the things of this world. Some will persecute you and others will laugh. It is not our natural human nature to live with faith in the things we cannot see. We were all born sinners. As a human we believe in the things that we see and not the things we don’t see. However, when Jesus comes into our lives we change. It takes faith to believe in in our God in heaven. It takes faith to believe in Jesus and how he accomplished his mission on this earth. You and I are not to just profess faith in our lives, but we are to live our faith. God provides us with many promises throughout the bible. We must understand and believe that he never fails on any of his promises. He is always faithful. We too, are to be faithful. We too are to be trusting in what he says and focus on Him and not the world around us. We must be faithful to read his word, study his commands and live our lives without hypocrisy. Those around us, whether believers, or non-believers are watching. They watch to see how we live, talk and survive. Our ways should be different. Our God is a spiritual God, one who is all encompassing and with us in good times and bad times. He is with us when we are down and when we are celebrating. To live in faith, we must be able to see things through the perspective our God in heaven. We must be able to listen to the Holy Spirit and do as He instructs us to do. We must be dedicated to the study of his word and pray with sincerity. We must believe what we pray and that our prayers are answered because they are! We must thank Him and praise Him for his answers and His love for those who sincerely follow and spread his word. We must live by faith; trust by faith and receive by faith! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
