Faith is a journey with a promise ahead of us. In bible, God called Abraham to take a journey and made him a promise. It was a marvelous promise that came about entirely by God's initiative. No one asked for it or anticipated it.
God sometimes breaks into our lives when we're not expecting it. God approaches us at times when we are not specifically asking for anything. God calls our name and says, "Come." God takes the initiative and gives promises to us before we even ask for them.
Faith asks us to let go of what is familiar and comfortable. It calls us to take risks. We must trust God to handle every part of our lives. By faith we move forward when God calls, approaching the future with the confidence that God will lead the way.
The journey can take many twists and turns. Sometimes the going is smooth. But often, when the ride is rough, we listen best and cling to God as never before.
May God adjust our thinking and help us to see him on the way ahead of us, and to follow him.
- "Have FAITH in God," Jesus answered. (Mark 11:22)
- Now FAITH is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)
- And without FAITH it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
- Fight the good fight of the FAITH. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12)
