Faith
Alright, so this was a random thought I had on the way home yesterday, and I thought it was worth remembering, or even sharing, thus why it is here. I was walking across an intersection, and there was a bus coming up on the left. I Knew that it would turn and go down the road behind me, and I'm pretty sure it did, but I didn't check.
You know why I didn't check? Because I Knew that it went that way. If you know that it's going to work a certain way, why do we have to see? It's as though seeing proof is more important than knowing that it's there. Maybe not the best example, but what if there's nothing to see, and you have to know it? What if there is no way to check that what you Know is right? That's faith right?
'Faith is knowing what you hope for, and being certain of what you cannot see' Hebrews 11:1. That's tough. No wonder it's so easy to falter in the faith hey? We can never check to see if it's right, or even how far off it is. But, no matter how far off it is, faith is being certain of the unseeable. I don't know about all of you, but I like checking to see how things are. I'll check and double check and check again. There's things in life that require regular checking. Amongst all this, we cannot check the most important thing in our life.
That's the beauty of faith I suppose.
But according to that verse up there, what I have said is only half of what faith is. Anyone care to fill the other half?
