Bible Verse Friday #18

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see". ~Hebrews 11:1

Dictionary.com defines faith as:
-noun
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing.
2. belief that is not based on proof.
3. believe in God or in the doctrines or teachings of relgion
etc...etc....etc

How do you define faith?
Faith to me is trusting that God will provide just as he promises.
I can read and know that he provided for people in the biblical times.
I can look around and watch other people who are provided for.
Yet it takes believing in God to know that I will be provided for.
It takes faith.

Right now is still very uncertain for Bud and I.
We have a lot of decisions coming up soon.
Bud has just 22 days until he graduates college, 35 days until he commissions, 82 days until he EADs (Enters Active Duty), 85 days until he reports in for duty, and 170 days until Bitsy Hitzy is here.
In the mean time we have so many questions and decisions we must make.
But no matter what we know that God will provide us the answers we need.
He will provide us with the security that man can not.
He will shelter us, feed us, love us, and provide for us because we believe.

What does faith look like to you?
Do you struggle at times believing in what can not be seen?
I have and sometimes still do.
It's okay, but please when that doubt creeps in...
...cast it out.
Replace it with faith and know that God will reward that faith!

I hope you all had a Blessed Friday
