Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what do not see."
By faith we believe God created the universe and all that is in it. By faith, Noah built the ark when warned about things not yet seen. If you read Hebrews 11, you will find many stories of people who lived by faith. Some of them include Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Abel, Enoch, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, the prophets, the prostitute Rahab, and others. I would encourage you to read Hebrews 11 especially if you are struggling in your faith.
Should we as Christians doubt God? NO! For if he can calm the storms, walk on water, feed the five thousand, turn water into wine, heal the sick, and raise a dead man; how can we doubt God? We must not doubt but believe. It takes complete faith. Faith is believing in the things not yet seen.
James 1:6
"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."
We must believe and not allow Satan to put the doubt there. If we give it to the Lord at the altar, then leave it there, don't take it back. With faith also comes action. We must act in faith believing and knowing God called us according to his purpose for such a time as this.
James 1:22
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
James 2:20
"You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?"
James 2:26
"As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead."
Let us live by faith and not by sight that we may be an example to others. May we listen to God's calling and be obedient to His calling. May we be credited as a righteous child of God. May our lives reflect the love of Jesus Christ towards others. Help us O'Lord to believe and not doubt. Help us each day to walk by faith, doing what you have called us to do.
Blessings to you all!!!
Hi, my name is Cindy Peplaw. God started laying Isaiah 60:1 on my heart and after much prayer felt the need to start blogging again. I hope you'll join me as I blog about God, family and life. I encourage you not to give up on your dream or the calling God has placed in your heart. God has a purpose and a plan for each one of us. May you be inspired and encouraged by these God given messages.
