"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1)
"We walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7)
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in Me" (John 14:1)
"The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.' And the Lord said, 'If you had faith like the grain of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be up rooted and planted into the sea and it would obey you'" (Luke 17:5-6)
"So Abraham called the name of that place, 'The Lord will provide', as it is said to this day 'On the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided'" (Genesis 22:14)
Now in essence faith is very strong part of what God calls his people to live in. Its spoken over and over in the Bible about how we who follow the Triune God of the Holy bible are called to walk in faith all the days of our lives. The prophets say it, Y'shua says it, as do the Apostles. Its easily seen that we are to live by faith but faith is not so easily lived out! Its tough, rough and a lot of times just plain stinks. Personally I am in a place that feels like a desert and that all I thought was calling me into seems very distant, but its amazing what faith can do. I wake up day by day and say Lord I believe, I don't understand sometimes but I believe. That said, faith is something we work out through life's trials, ups, downs and even the mundane.
I'm in one of those mundane seasons and its rough. I have people around me that love me and are supporting me and encouraging me but I have to say that daily I am seeing the goodness of God in this and still hearing God speak to me about little things here and there. At first glance this stinks but I know that God is faithful and as I take steps towards him He will do and accomplish His purposes for me and His kingdom. I write all this cause I have thought that God always called me to ministry in the church, but I'm seeing little by little that I'm still called but I am slowly seeing it being different then what I always thought. Some of what God has spoken are only for me and some are for just a few chosen people in my life (you know who you are).
This process is slowly being opened over the last few days as God like I said is speaking so I ask....Lord give me ears to hear and eyes to see! Now to you all I ask you to pray for me as this time in life is tough but God is speaking as my God is always there and loves me dearly so I will push through!
