Seed Of Faith.

Faith is the substance of things most hoped for. By Faith Noah built the ark. By Faith Joshua tore down the walls of Jericho. By Faith Gideon led his few army against a great thousand. By Faith Moses stood against Pharaoh, and led his people through the wilderness. By faith Mary gave birth to our Lord and Savior. By faith Jesus's disciples followed after Christ, and preached his word. By faith Esther went into the king un-summoned. By Faith David defeated Goliath. And, so on the list continues.

Throughout the Bible, there are many strong heroes of faith. They knew that by their own power the things most hoped for, or to be accomplished could be done only with God on their side.  Nothing is possible when man stands alone. He is nothing, and In no way powerful. God is the only real maker of this world. He knew us before we were even born. By his own hands, we were formed out of the dust of the ground, and made into who we are today.

God is everything in our life. Through thick and thin he is always with us, ready to comfort us with a strong arm, pick us up when we fall, and rejoice with us when we are glad. We are never to question the things that come about through our life. For the bible says "All things will work out for good, to them that love God..." 

The verse is very true; for everything *will* turn out for good. God never breaks a promise, and we need to simply trust him. But it takes more than just sitting back waiting for God to deliver his promise. We need to spend our lives here on earth wisely. From giving God all the glory for everyday. Praising his most wonderful name. To serving him all our days and following his will in everything.

Life is never easy. But it's not always hard either. Instead, we need to look on life as an adventure. Everyday is a new day, just waiting for us to seek it out. To explore. And best of all; to enjoy! No matter how much heartache or pain we go through, nothing could ever make up for the great debt we owe. God died on the cross so that we all might have life... What better gift in life is there than that? 

But, we need to have FAITH to retain the things most hoped for. For "faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that he will." It doesn't take much to have faith. It but takes the amount of a seed... That little seed of faith, to accomplish much. Faith like all of the above had. We need to believe that God is with us. Know he will work everything for good. And simply have faith... Trusting in Gods every move.
