THOUGHTS| Have Faith

Recently I had a conversation with a friend and it broke my heart to hear that they were not only questioning their faith but God's will.  So if "you" are reading this post, then I pray you are blessed by what God has given me to write.I also thank you for given me something to reflect on myself.  

Many times Christians are put in a position to wonder God's plan in our life, but thats where we have to have faith.  I admit I have struggled in this area many times. 

Hebrews 11:1 "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

My research gave me a simple example but relevent.  It uses the words "sure" and "certain" to describe faith.  Faith requires solid beginning and ending points.  We must first begin by believing that God is who he says he is.  The ending point is believing in God's word.

In Jeremiah 29:11 the bible says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." For we dont know all and its God's purpose that we dont.  A common saying is that its not about the destination but the journey.  Our trials in enduring faith is the journey, and God's will is our destination.  Before questioning God's will, say to yourself, "what more can I do." Stay the course and rest on the will of God, to direct your path.  In times, I wonder where I stand, or if Im in the right direction I listen to the song below.  Be Blessed...
