Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
Faith is believing before seeing
I love Hebrews chapture 11, called the Hall of Fame for Faith.
We come to Abraham and Sarah. Well, not many of us would
Now we come to Moses and the children of Israel. Here he
One of my favorite faith stories is about the Hebrew children
Alright, what about Daniel in the Lions Den. God sent angels to
The list goes on and on. I think about Steven being stoned to death
I know of one Faith walker named Kathy. She is my sister-in-law
What kind of Faith do you have? As much as a grain of mustard seed?
What is Faith?
I know that if I step out in faith, that the Lord
is either going to teach me to fly
or put something under my feet.
Think with me a minute, you're Noah and God tells you
to build an ark. You've never seen rain, you live in the
middle of dry land and people are thinking you're crazy!
What kind of Faith did it take to just do what God
said to do? Noah's family followed his direction, wonder
how many wives and or grown children would listen to a
dad who everyone else thought was "nuts". Would you?
like to begin a family after the age of menapause..
but they did. Not only did they give birth and were
teaching a young child when most of us would be
in rocking chairs but Abraham is asked of God to
be willing to give up his only son, Isaac.
Abraham takes little Isaac and places him on an alter
and God being God, waits to the exact moment
and says Abraham, I just wanted to see if you were
willing to be obedient. Take the sheep instead and spare
thy son Isaac.
is at the Red Sea and Pharaoh and the Egyptians are right
behind him. God being God and always on time (never late, seldom
early), divides the sea and God's children walk through on
dry land. Not one soldier is left alive, not even a horse..
God does things completely and perfectly! Always!
that wouldn't bend, bow or burn. Shadrach, Meshach and Abeddnego
were thrown into the fiery furnace but when Nebuchadnezar looked
into the furnace he saw the likeness of four men. "They had no
hurt; and the form of the 4th is like the Son of God". Daniel 3:25
What excites me is this, they had no hurt but get this, they didn't
even smell of smoke! You can't even be around smoking and not
smell of smoke...that excites me! God does things so perfectly
and completely!
shut the mouths of the hungary lions. Well, he didn't get jumped on
or scratched either. How much faith these saints had!
I talked to my brother today and he had another thought
about the lions. He said, God wouldn't punish those lions
either, so not only did He shut their mouth but probably
made them feel full and content.
Well, if that's what God wanted, I'm sure that's how it was.
I know He does things completely and we don't always have
to know the details. Course, most of us want to know all about
how and why and when but that's when the lesson of Patience
comes in...right?
he just looked up into Heaven and prayed. I wonder about Faith walkers
in today's world.
but she is a gift from God to my brother and my family.
She's been walking the Faith walk with Cancer and taking
Chemo and she is one of the strongest people I know.
She's had to have surgery and now lost her beautiful hair
but I look at her and see her inner beauty. Christmas Day
my parents and I had lunch with my brother, Kathy and the
children and I knew His presence was very much with us.
We prayed and thanked the Lord for healing her and we
just lifted her up. The hair will grow back and she will be
well again. We are walking the Faith Walk with her. We love
you Kathy!
God says that will move a mountain.
of your faith worketh patience.
All scripture comes from the King James version,
my personal preference.
