In the past few days, I've been thinking a lot about faith and what it means. According to Webster's Dictionary, faith is an allegiance to duty or a person (loyalty); it's a firm belief in something for which there is no proof; a complete trust; something that is believed with strong conviction.
We grow up with faith and belief in our parents and teachers. We have faith that the guidance being provided is what we need. We have faith that we are not being steered in the wrong direction. We have faith in our country, our judicial system, our government, etc. We place our faith in our spouses. There are many instances where we have to trust, believe and have faith in things we can't see or things we can't control. We even put our faith in doctors expecting them to cure all of our health ailments.
We don't seem to question the faith people put on "earthly" things such as psychics, mediums or even daily horoscopes. We have the freedom to choose what we believe in.
Why is it then, that we question the personal choice people make to have faith in The Lord? I'm a believer in Jesus Christ. Jesus is invisible. He provides and connects me to what I need. Just as I had faith in my parents and teachers for guidance, I now place my faith and trust in God.
Faith is the ability to trust in the unknown or unseen; it's a belief that things will work for your betterment. Having faith lays a foundation to build upon. As your faith grows, it gets stronger. When you turn your problems over, faith destroys doubt; you understand and believe that the right answer will be provided for your situation.
Where is your faith? What power source do you hook up to when times are rough? Are you getting enough juice or are you being short-circuited? If you're feeling drained of energy, you may need some rewiring. One quick way to get refreshed is to put your faith in the One that provides the nourishment you need. Like the Energizer bunny, you'll keep going and going, growing and growing. That's the kind of faith and power source we all need.
