As I sit here really mulling over what the 5 letter word means, I can't help but thank God for allowing me to have FAITH! So what does that mean?
Faith by definition is strong belief or trust in someone or something; belief in the existence of God; strong religious feelings or beliefs; a system of religious beliefs; allegiance to duty or a person; fidelity to one's promises; sincerity of intentions; belief and trust in and loyalty to God; belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion; firm belief in something for which there is no proof; complete trust; something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially, a system of religious beliefs; without question
What exactly does this mean? Well in plain english, Faith is believing without seeing. It's the belief in something without knowing the steps to get there. For example, the pantry is almost bare, you have no money for 5 more days, you know SOMETHING will provide, but what? How will that food stretch. Fast forward, it's the night before pay day and you still have enough food for 2 more meals. How did that happen? THE LORD provided!
As we get closer to our move, I'm finding that the Lord is testing our faith daily. We have to learn to have faith that he will get us there in the right home in HIS timing. I know he will provide all provisions to get us there. I just have to be patient and have faith that He will deliver. I have also done a lot of looking back over the last several years. When I thought I was having faith, I feel now in hindsight that I was questioning his ability to provide for us. This is a big thing, we must learn to trust in him fully and have faith and things will turn out.
The verse for the day: Luke 17:6-- "He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."
As you can see, if you have just a tiny bit of faith, you can and will do great things! Praise the Lord!
