“What is faith?  It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen.  It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.”  (Hebrews 11:1 Living Bible) 

Sometimes I stumble in the dark groping for the light switch.  When I find it, I fully expect the lights to go on as I flip the switch.  Although I cannot see the wires in the wall or the current traveling through them, nor do I understand the technical application, I believe in electricity.  It is a proven fact to me.   Jesus reveals Himself to His children through the Holy Spirit.   

 “Jesus said to the people, ‘I am the light of the world.  So if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.” (John 8:12 Living Bible)

Can you imagine the day when Noah started building the ark?  God asked him to design and build a huge boat on dry land.  Strange as it may have sounded, Noah heard the command and began the work.  People thought he was crazy.  Faith carried him.  The mission was peculiar, but he continued.  We all know how this story unfolds.  God held the master plan.  Noah and his family lived while the others perished in the flood.  

The world is full of people voicing their opinions.  The media tells us what to do, what to wear, and what to think.  It is time to stand up and focus on God—the true source of love, wisdom and power.  We find peace, serenity and joy when we let go of our fears and trust God. 

“Peace I leave with you; My (own) peace I now give and bequeath to you.  Not as the world gives do I give to you.  Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.  (Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled).  (John 14:27 Amplified)
