You Must Live by Faith

What is Faith?"It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.  It is evidence of things we cannot yet see."  Hebrews 11:1This is what a true christian lives by - faith. Many people don't believe in God the creator because they cannot see him.  Even the Israelites that Moses led out of Egypt lacked faith from time to time.  They even built an image to worship when they got impatient after Moses went up to Mount Sinai.  This is what we do sometimes, when our patience runs out because God does not seem near, we falter in faith."So you see, it is impossible to please God without faith.  Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek Him."  Hebrews 11:6We must live by faith and not by sight.  Anything you want for your life can be achieved if you just have faith.Now don't confuse faith with wishful thinking.  It is not a matter of sitting around waiting for things to happen, but by
working toward making it happen.  But while you are working, you are praying and believing.  Some things just take a little time, and there may even be times when we don't get what we want, but that does not mean that God is not with us.God promised Abraham that he would be a father of many nations.  Abraham did not live to see this happen, but it did happen because God promised.  Some of the things we hope for may not happen in our lifetime, but it still can happen and benefit our loved ones.  God does things His own way and we should not question it.However there are some things that you do need to wait on God for.  Perhaps you are terminally ill, then you need to have faith that God can heal you.  It takes a little faith to make big things happen."I assure you, even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, 'move from here to there', and it would move.  Nothing would be impossible." Matthew 17:20Have you ever seen a mustard s
eed?  It is very small indeed.  So imagine what you could do with a whole lot of faith.We must live by faith for you see, we will not always get what we want in this life, and we have to face trials and challenges that we sometimes don't understand, but there is a higher reward awaiting us."Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory." Romans 5:2In God's Kingdom we will be rewarded for all our faith and patience.  We should not be anxious about anything but continually trust in God for all our needs.
