Something About Faith.

This morning I woke up knowing now that it was not a challenge day, but I still chose to listen to Christian music. It made me feel a little better about having to be up so early to go to church. Then at church, during Sunday school, the lesson was on having faith, and how faith can help you change your life. I walked out of there feeling like something was going to change in my life this year. Then I went to church, and pastor preached about loving God with all your soul, and that you may not know where your soul is, but you have to put your faith first, and make God the center of your soul. That was pretty interesting to me that the lessons were so similiar. When I went to youth group tonight the lesson was on faith, and what faith is and how we know that we have faith. I went home thinking about that lesson. Finally when I arrived home, my family had a movie on called the ten comandments, the part that I saw was when Moses was talking to the people telling them that if they had faith miricles could happen, and they did. He continued to explain that faith is trust in God, and that you cannot doubt your faith.

With four things today, having very similar messages, I knew that God was trying to tell me something. There was a verse that was read today that explained what I was feeling, and what I was trying to understand about my faith. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1. The Lord has commanded it of us to have faith. Without faith, we would be lost. We have faith every single day in many things. I choose to put my faith in the Lord, because I know what He has promised, and I have read it in His word. He is glorious and although I do not physically see Him, I see the work that He does in my life. Therefore, I know that He is there, He answers my prayers, and He gives me peace. I have faith that whenever I call upon the name of the Lord he will answer me. He is all powerful and He has all of my faith.
