Have Faith - October Edition

Day 1
For we walk by faith. not by sight...
Have Faith...
As servicemen, having faith is a natural and
daily occurrence. They have faith in their
comrades that they watch their backs and
that they do their job to the best of their ability.
They have faith in the equipment they
use that it will perform correctly. They have
faith in their commanders that they will
make the correct decisions. Sometimes
those decisions are not what they like, it
may mean they are put into dangerous situations
or it may just upset their normal daily
lives. Regardless of this they know it is for
the greater good and they do it anyway having
faith that they are doing the right thing.
We have faith in them that they will serve
their country and keep us all safe. All of this
is based on the concept of having faith.
When our forces go into battle, they are
equipped with the knowledge that it is to defeat
evil, oppression and suffering and to restore
peace and goodness. This is what
Hebrew 11 and Matthew 8: 5
God wants for us. All he wants is for us to
love each other, live in peace and lead the
best lives we can. A thought occurred to me
of the amount of faith he must have in us as
his children to give us the free will to make
our own decisions. Despite all of this trust,
we, as humans, constantly let him down
with our sins, yet despite this he constantly
forgives us no matter what. Now that is love.
But, just as we have faith win each other
within our ranks, we must have faith in him.
We must have faith that he loves us and is
working for our good behind the scenes
each and every day of our lives. We should
have faith that he forgives us no matter of
the wrongs we do or how many times we
wrong him. We should have faith that he is
always there for us when everything falls
around us. He is always there, he never
ever leaves our side. All we need to do is
have faith in him. Just have faith.
