Only Believe

Hebrews 11:1-2 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

God’s will is that we live by faith--- not the blind leap of the foolish---not the blank check of the misinformed, but the deep settled assurance that what God has said He would do, He is more than able and willing.

Because of our relationship to Jesus Christ, faith  brings the future within the present and makes the invisible seen. Faith is not based on guesswork, peace of heart or wishful thinking. Faith calms our fears, cushions our falls, and  confirms our future.

“Lord, regardless of how I feel or what I can’t see, I’m standing on your promises. Hear my prayer and answer it according to your will, and may you be glorified. Amen”
