My pastor talked about faith today. He went to the dictionary and found several meanings. As he talked, I pondered what faith really looks like. Where does it start? Do you just try to rack it up even when things don’t look good? Scriptures say that faith is the substance of things not seen but that we hold to be true. I think that is why it’s so hard to abide in faith—you can’t see it.
I ask myself if I can walk in faith and trust God when circumstances look like a lie. What am I up against?
I’ve looked at my life and thought, “this is crazy! Nothing makes sense.” When my dreams have been crunched and I find I’m going another direction than what I thought and it hurts. When loved ones have died or live far away. Especially at Christmas—“the most wonderful time of the year”. Will I trust God?
Is it a faith walk? Every step.
Will Jesus go with me? Every step.
Will it all happen as He wills? I know not how, but yes.
Am I crazy? Sometimes it seems so, but I choose to abide and walk by faith. What will God do?
“But may the God of all grace, Who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you” I Peter 5:10.
