FAITHING IT AGAINST THE ODDS

Faith is the substance of things hope for, and the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

You may know this scripture by heart, but do you really know what it means?

Hope is a feeling of expectation or desire for something to happen. The evidence of things not seen it just that, things you have prayed for or praying for that has not come to past yet. The phrase against the odds means low probability or unlikely to occur. But, do you know that god specializes in situations with low probability or even unlikely to happen.  God operates in his own time, not the time frame or schedule of man. What deemed impossible to you and I, is possible to god. Where there is a no, God can say yes; and where there is no door, God can open a window.

Faithing it against the odds simply means, although I don’t see it with my physical eyes, or even yet feel it, I know that god is working on my behalf.  Often times we think that god needs our help. We try to intervene our own way only to find that we make an even greater mess.  Faith doesn’t make sense; it’s not supposed to because we are trusting and believing that god is making a way out of his way, not ours.  Faithing it against the odds, is taking it to the throne of grace as god instructed us to, and leaving it there. Let god do the dirty, hard work.  Our job is to pray, and trust him.  Let me be one to tell you, trusting god isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.  Trusting god builds strength, courage, faith, endurance, perseverance, hope, humility, and character.  Faithing it is a way of telling god that you trust him above your own ability.  It’s at the end of yourself, that you find the beginning of Christ.

Take a load off! Pass the baton! Relax……. God is working, always, for this children.  I pray this has blessed your soul. I pray you have an awesome grace filled weekend. And remember, faith it!
