Faith

Today, we continue building the ladder containing, "Steps to Security." Our first step was, "An Open Heart". And step #2, becomes, "Faith". What do you have as you lift your arm to turn on the switch that will send a burst of light into a darkened room? What emotion/feeling do you have as you place your tired body into your comfortable recliner? What do you show as you sit at a table and place objects on that table? As you turn the key in the ignition of your favorite vehicle before you start to move? All of these instances express a trust that the end result will be proper action so you can proceed with your plans. You have trusted something to perform properly to the intent of its purpose. In each instance you have placed your trust/faith in the result of correct function. What does the Bible tell us about Faith? Look at Hebrews, the 11th chapter and there you will find these words,Hebrews 11:l "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Since "security" shapes us for eternity in heaven, we must produce "faith" in a Saviour Who fits us for heaven. And also in Hebrews 11:6, we read these words, "But without Faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." How do we receive Faith? "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." Romans 10:17 How about your Faith? Is it working? It is free:
yours for the asking. May God increase the faith you have.
