Faith. What is it? Faith is defined as: “–noun
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another’s ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.
3. belief in god or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims.”
So faith is believing “even when your heart tells you not to”. (Natalie Wood, Miracle on 34th street).
Faith is a tough walk for everyone. I think even theologians lose faith from time to time. So how do we continue to walk in the light of faith?
I guess for me, it is surrounding myself with people who will pray with me and for me. I also find myself praying a lot. I don’t understand all the answers that I am given, in fact I don’t even know if or when a prayer is answered. I can only try to keep moving forward.
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, They are plans for the good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” New Living Translation
This passage is just one of many, I try to follow in my walk of faith. I am hopeful that I am not wrong and someday I will know the answers to all my questions.
In closing I am asking you pray for my family as we investigate new paths and journey and pray that we choose the right way.
