Hebrews 11:1 KJV
Faith. Do I have faith? Do I have enough faith? That depends sometimes on how things are going. It shouldn't depend, but it does at times. I get side tracked and look around at the circumstances instead of God. We may start to think God cannot help us and we may begin to doubt, but....
When we have faith, our hope and confidence are completely focused on God.
I may not be able to see the answer, or even a glimmer of hope in some circumstances, but when I keep focused on the promises of God, there is always hope. His Word can sustain and strengthen in the hardest of moments. When we cannot see through the trial, we can see hope in His promises.
We can believe His plans are for our good, not our harm. (Romans 8:28) We can trust that He is our shield and our place of safety. (Psalms 18:1-2) We can trust that He is already working to bless us and keep us.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Psalms 91:1-4 KJV
We have promises in the Word of God. We have nothing to fear and no reason to ever doubt the Word of God. His Word is true and He never fails to keep His Word. We can say: For ever, O Lord , thy word is settled in heaven.
Psalms 119:89 KJV
We know He is not slack concerning his promises. (2 Peter 3:9)
When life or situations seem to overwhelm you or feel impossible, that is when faith becomes most important. When it seems that desperate prayer may not be answered, when illness threatens, when that lost soul you so desperately love and want to see saved seems so far away, faith in God's Word will carry you into the promises.
I have seen God heal the illness. I have seen the impossibly lost come to Christ. I have seen God take an impossible situation and change it miraculously. I have seen prayers answered. I know God will continue to make a way when there seems to be no way. He will heal, deliver, and bless. He will not forget His promises and He will not fail.
Keep your faith firmly planted in Christ. Read His Word and cling to the promises. Trust Him in spite of the what you can or can't see. He will come through for you. Just believe and find hope in Him. Never lose hope. Jesus Christ is our hope.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37 KJV
