Faith Is

FAITH is such a small word, with so much potential. There is not a day that goes by when we don't need to exercise FAITH.

Sometimes it is difficult to keep FAITH. Our natural man wants to take care of matters without any help (from anyone). What a mess that can turn out to be. FAITH, standing alone, definitely does a better (more complete) job.

Here’s my definition of FAITH (written from first-hand experience):

Faith is a song,
Sang when all is silent.
Faith is a book,
Read when all is illegible.
Faith is a medicine,
Prescribed when all is incurable.
Faith is a road map,
Followed when all is lost.

Now FAITH IS the substance of things hoped for. . . then taken care of by the Lord.

Loved your poem.

Just today I was saying aloud,
"I will speak of things that are not as though they were... FAITH..."
Thank you for posting this TODAY!

Shannon, it is called kindred spirits. Isn't it marvelous how God confirms our thoughts. Thanks for the confirmation.

Sis Karen,

Amen. Well, tonight was another confirmation and I just wanted to pass it along to you too!

Bro. West quoted the exact same Scripture tonight talking about faith.

Hallelujah,God is good!

His sermon was how we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Remember the testimony of what God has done in the past, and speak in faith to your present that God is faithful and will provide again!
