"over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity"

Have Faith!

One of the great “faith” chapters to be found in the Word of God is Hebrews chapter 11. Verse one states: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Living the Christian life without faith is like driving a car with no oil, washing clothes with no soap, or playing quarterback in the Super Bowl with no helmet or pads. Without a life of biblical faith, many Christians struggle with discouragement, worry, fear, and hurt.

Having faith means trusting God even when we can’t logically figure out the outcome. It means not worrying about a problem or situation but giving it over to God and letting Him handle it. We have become accustomed to trying to figure out the results before doing something. We like to test-drive a car, sample food, and try out new products before we buy them. There is nothing wrong with wanting to test something before we buy it, but we must not assume that thinking when it comes to faith. We must trust God with the results and choose to follow Him without knowing the outcome.

A person with faith also acts upon their faith. Anyone can believe that God is able to meet their needs or answer their prayers, but it takes true faith to act on the belief. It takes a person with real faith to say, “God, I may not understand why or how, but I know that you are in control, and I will keep on going even though I don’t see how you will provide.” True faith is not only willing to trust God, but is willing to step forward and continue serving Him as well.

Are you exhibiting true faith in your life today? Spend time with God now and commit to following Him in faith. Take the next step and trust Him for the outcome. You will never regret fully trusting God with your life.
