Faith:

     The deepest things are simple things.

 

     The adventure of faith is not some complex gauntlet that can only be successfully run by the strong and the smart.  We were designed to walk by faith.  We were designed to take Him at His Word and put our weight down on it, simply because He said so.

 

     I have seen Christians try to get the unsaved to believe they can exercise faith.  That is a mistake.  Faith is not the result of being convinced something is right.  Faith is the result of having met a Person.  The Indwelling Holy Spirit gives witness that He is who He says He is, and He empowers that Believer to move into what cannot be otherwise seen.


     Why does it often seem so hard?  Because we must be transformed.  The storm swirls around and the wind brings things that crash into us.   Things hurt, are frightening, and most often, we fear the unknown.


     The motto for living by faith?
     God’s Word is more real
     Than the way that you feel.
