Thoughts For Today

It is by faith that we understand the mysteries of the Kingdom. Hebrews 11:1 tells us, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is the established conviction that we have a settled expectation of a future reward. It is trusting that what God has told us in His Word is true. During our Christian walk there are times that our faith is tried or tested. There are so many different ways for that to happen, and if we do not understand why it is easy to give up and lose sight of the end result of our faith being tried. To remind ourselves that it is our heavenly Father teaching and guiding us through various trials, it helps if we look at faith with this perspective: Faith is Fantastic Adventures in Trusting Him. God never tries our faith just to try it. He tries our faith to prove His faithfulness. As we learn from each life lesson exactly what He is teaching us our faith is strengthened to withstand whatever winds of adversity blow our way. It is our trust in Him that will sustain us so we finally reach the things for which we hoped.
