Wow I have not posted in forever. :( Lately I have thought about faith. Faith in God. Faith in tough times when I don't understand what God is doing in my life. Why would God put me through these trials I am having for nothing? We can find His wonderful answers to those questions in His Word.
Here is a verse that makes us think: "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all." Isaiah 7:9 What God is telling us in this verse is that when we stand firm in the faith God gives us, we can stand through any trial that comes our way.
Jesus says this: "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible to you." Matthew 17:20 When anyone has little faith in God, nothing will happen. We need to have so much faith in God, that people will see it in us. All of us can be a light to the world by expressing our faith in God. And in turn, when we have a mountain (trail) in front of us we can say to that mountain "move over there," because we have so much faith from God.
Many times we are tested by God. Our Father only puts us through trails because it makes our faith grow stronger in Him. Abraham was an excellent example of this. Genesis 12:10 says, "Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe." Why would God strike famine to the land He just called it Abram? Because it was a test of Abram's faith, and guess what....Abram passes. Many believers of God immediately encounter many obstacles. The next time you come across such a test, trust God, don't question or blame God for the tests He gives us. TRUST HIM!
I gave three good verses to remember. Look up the word faith in your Bible. You will have a new verse for everyday!
Have a Wonderful Day!!
