Faith is talked about all the time. Books, MP3′s and loads of resources are available on the subject but what is the essence of faith? What’s the point and purpose of faith.
Faith is the accent to belief that God is good, faithful and governing our lives. At the very center of faith is trust. It is trusting God with our lives entirely – not withholding anything from him. Faith is an abandonment of our cares and desires to do his will and trust that he will do what he said he would.
Faith requires courage, determination and persistence in what is not seen. Remember Abraham. He trusted God even when God’s promise seemed impossible. He and his wife were passed the age of bearing children, but God promised him a son, Issac. Even though it was scientifically impossible, Abraham dared to believe God and thus the foundation of Israel.
Ask yourself today, “what areas do I need to believe God for?” Allow yourself to stop trusting in what is humanly possible and reach out to the One who is able to do the impossible. You will be amazed and surprised.
