"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Hebrews 11:1)
"WHAT IS FAITH? In the simplest manner in which I am able to express it, I answer: Faith is the assurance that the thing which God has said in His Word is true, and that God will act according to what He has said in His Word. This assurance, this reliance on God's Word, this confidence is FAITH."
i want to be honest with you. today has been hard... but, that's ok because as James wrote, trials, hardships are what produce perseverance and what make us more like Christ.
my mom pointed me to the life of George Mueller. he is a man who cared for over 10,000 orphans in 5 different orphanages, all simply by the provision of God. george mueller trusted God... he had faith in Him... and God provided. it had nothing to do with the strength of george mueller's faith, but everything to do with who he put his faith in.
so, today...
- please pray that i would trust a God who provides.
- i would look wholly to Him and not on my circumstances.
- pray that He would provide the funds for me to go to Wake Forest...
simply for His will to be done, for His Kingdom to come here on earth.
because none of this has to do with Kate... i want it all to be for Him.
i pray the same would be true for you.
