Thursday Thought -- March 28, 2013


Good Morning Friends,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. …  And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:1-3, 6)

Faith is important to God. In fact, it’s so important that He says it is impossible for us to please Him without it. So what is faith?

Faith is being sure.

    It’s being sure that there is a God.

    It’s being sure that you know who He is.

    It’s being sure you know He cares about you.

    It’s being sure He has a plan to save you.
   
    It’s being sure He sent His Son for you.

    It’s being sure He has a place prepared for you.

    It’s being sure He’ll be there after death.

    It’s being sure He’s there in life, too.

Faith is being sure.

But it is more than that.

Faith is acting on our certainty.

    It’s being sure enough that we trust Him with our life.

    It’s being sure enough that we trust Him with our death.

    It’s being sure enough that we trust Him with our future.

    It’s being sure enough that we trust Him with everything.

Faith is being sure!

I’m sure! Are you?

His, by Grace,

Steve
