Faith is the Assurance

Good Morning!

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. -Hebrews 11:1

Faith is hard to explain but the best word I can think of to best describe it is ‘trust’. Christian faith is trusting God and faith is grown in seeing God come through in those things that you trusted Him in. I encourage you to write down your prayers and then go back 6 months to a year later and read them again, you will be amazed how many of those prayers got answered and it will build faith. Increased faith will result in more trust in God and therefore result in more faith filled dialogue with God, which will result in more breakthrough for His Kingdom and that is what the church is here for, to glorify God and exemplify His goodness. Give God a chance to build your faith, He will not let you down.

“Faith is taking that first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” -Martin Luther King Jr

“Every single thing He has ever or will ever say is true. The simplicity of faith is this: taking God’s Word for it.” -Jackie Hill Perry

Dad Joke of the Day:

I got myself a seniors’ GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Have a great Tuesday!
