As Mrs. Nancy Campbell and I were working in the office today, she was having me do the numbers so that she could figure up the bills. We were met with a HUGE number that we're short, and she sank down in her chair, very beaten for a moment. Then she popped right back up and said, "Oh well, God will provide a miracle." and went about her work as if nothing had ever bothered her.
Hebrews 11:1 tells us that Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.See, Mrs. Campbell has something that is not easily attained: Faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She can trust her unknown future to Him without a worry or doubt, because time and again He has proved His power. All we need to do is believe.
When you were a small child, maybe 3 or 4, did your parents have to prove to you that they'd feed you every meal? Or did you just believe they would? What happened to the child like faith we had when we were small? Even after God has proved Himself time and time again throughout our lives, sometimes in things as small as just a rainbow during a thunderstorm or a dollar on the sidewalk, we still doubt His amazing power and grace. We doubt His love and provision. We need to be the generation of faith, and believe. We need to be the ones to step out on the waves like Peter, but we need to keep our eyes fixed on Christ rather than the storm around us.
