Faith means to trust God. You have to have faith to do anything. You have to have faith when you sit down, when you get into your car, when you eat...faith is everywhere. We have to have faith do everything if you think about it. Do you have faith in God? Do you trust Him?
Faith is also something that I struggle with. God proves himself trustworthy time and time again but how often do we forget and so quickly, as well? God's perfect and, even when we're untrustworthy, God is trustful. We can always trust and depend on Him. And He wants Him to.
My sister was in a wreck yesterday with a friend and I have to trust that the Father would allow my beautiful sister that I love to be hurt. She's okay but it's tough. No car now, finals start tomorrow...But she could have gotten killed. Life is so short and even if she did, I have to trust God. Rely on his plan, not mine. Believe that he's thinking about my good. I don't know God is real but I have to trust it. Trust is everywhere.
What do you trust?
Into the Deep is an amazing, but oh, so sad book! A man losese his entire family, four beautiful kids and a wife, in a flood but he trusts God minute by minute. He questions why (it's okay though to question but keep your eyes on Jesus...that makes the difference between good and bad doubt, when we keep our eyes on Jesus). He, Robert Rogers, is now married again and has started a ministry. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Genesis 50:20.
This is something that I got in a forward: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain
