In the book of exodus, we come across the journey of the Israelites, thought out their journey from Egypt to the promised land of Cannon, they continuously questioned the power ,in spite of even seeing the power of the lord , they kept one questioning the God , asking Moses were is god in our midst.
We at times say the same, I too have said the same, and I hope my father in heaven will forgive me, in not having enough faith in those days of doubt and fear.
Faith in god does come from the clouds. The bible says that God has given everyone a small measure of faith; it is up to us to realize it. In moments of disbelief, agony we may wear out our strengths, it is natural thing and there is nothing to be ashamed of, but Faith comes to life, when we realize the power of god and how much god protects us and loves us; and mind you, you do not have to read the encyclopedia or know the language’s such as Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic, in which the holy scriptures were written In the beginning to have faith in god.
Faith is a strong and mighty word indeed; all we need to do is remember how the lord has kept us safe under this wing in the past. Remember those days of confusion, loneliness, trial and tribulation in the past and realize that Good, The Graceful Father in heaven our Lord, is the one who kept us safe thought think and thin, and has brought us this far in the journey of life. When you believe the power the undeniable love of god and the everlasting assurance that god is with us and has been with us, one can can’t imagine a day without god.
Hebrew 11 verse 1
‘To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see’
I have said this word over and over again many times even without realizing the essence in this word god in my life.
To have faith is to be sure of the thing we hope for -: our past experiences in Christ in the journey of our lives, helps us to be sure of the assurance of this grace and everlasting presence, and because we have realized this by assessing our life and knowing that our life itself is his Grace, we become sure of the hope of this greatness of god.
To be certain of the things we cannot see -: after the assign part is over and the realization becomes a surety. The surety becomes a foundation corner stone, and comes out in the form of belief in times of crises, as a strong certainty that we have a powerful lord amongst us. that becomes our FAITH.
