Ramona Carol described faith as "Putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch." And I might say, don't worry about God dropping them. Faith is the force of a full life. I believe that the primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is a lack of faith.
Corrie Ten Boom says, "Faith is like a radar that sees through the fog the reality of things at a distance that a human eye cannot see." Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible.
So, what is faith? Your faith is what you believe, not what you know. It is faith and not reason, which impels men to action, intelligence is content to point out the road, but never drives along it. Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Faith releases the miraculous. It is the way to God's divine influence. God meets us at the level we expect, not the level we hope. At times, faith is believing what you see isn't so.
Put faith to work when doubting would be easier. Faith is the anchor of the soul, the stimulus to action, and the incentive to achievement. Faith will never abandon you; only you can abandon it. Nothing but faith can accurately guide your life. Faith gives us the courage to face the present with confidence and the future with expectancy. It is usually not so much the greatness of our troubles as the littleness of our faith, which causes us to stop or complain.
Faith keeps the man who keeps the faith. No one can live in doubt when he has faith. Faith either moves mountains or it will tunnel around them. Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe. All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong, he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Faith is necessary to succeed. George Spaulding said, "Life with out faith in something is to narrow of a space in which to live." Faith is building on what you know is here so you can reach what you know is there. The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubt of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
