Simple as Faith

 

Simple as Faith

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality-faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experiences by the physical senses]

Hebrews 11:1 (Amplified Bible)

Many people wish that they had more, but God only wants us to operate first in the faith we have, then as we do it he will give us more.

Hebrews 11:1 tells us what faith is.  Apparently, if you are a born-again Christian this is how you started.  Faith was already there in your heart, and you acted on it.

What is faith? It is the certainty of what you hope for.  You were certain of what you hoped for and that was Jesus.  You acted as if you had always known him and went forward with it.

Well, faith is that simple, so simple a child understands the concept. 

With that assurance put your best foot forward and trust God.  He will carry you through.

Faith is the reality of what you don’t see.  There are many things in life you don’t see and go through them anyway.

Faith is not what you do, but it starts with who you are.  You don’t have to roll on the floor, you must believe in who God says he is and live life like you believe it wholeheartedly.

If a child is reading this and believing what I say…their whole behavior would change toward their parents and classmates.  It’s the same for others.

Faith is very meaningful to God, and it is between us a right of passage to him.  It is like our password to Heaven and our relationship with him.  Faith causes you to leave everything behind and walk with God like Enoch.  With faith, you obviously leave sin behind.

If we truly understood faith our lives would be very different.  Would they not be?

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now ...

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it diff...
