Faith
03/18/2008 12:57:12 / Encouraging
Dealing with something that seems impossible? Don't let fear win. Fear and faith are the same thing - both are a strong belief in the unknown. One is a strong belief in bad and the other in good.
"Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR, the evidence of things NOT YET SEEN." - Hebrews 11:1
I like the way the New Living Translation puts it:
"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see."
Put your hope in God. Believe that He has "a hope and a future for you." His plan is always to do you good and not evil. He sent Jesus so that you might have life and life more abundant. You are His child. He loves you more than you have the capacity to understand.
Exercise your strong belief in the good that you hope for and wait. You are bringing the unseen reality into the known world or circumstance you are in. So, let your words only reflect what your faith is believing for. Speak only words of faith - not fear or doubt - calling the things that are not (yet) as though they are.
Jesus said, "You may ask anything in my name. And if you believe, you shall have it."
It only takes faith the size of a mustard seed to move your mountain! So how big is your faith? Or... "how big is your God?" might be the better question. When you realize that He is bigger than any problem you might face, your faith will increase.
So remember this:
Faith laughs at the impossible!
