Soooooooo………
What is faith, anyway?
Last time in youth group, we talked about the fact that faith is
simply trust. It is trusting that there is something there you can’t
see. People think about faith as a religious thing, but there is much
more to it than that. Have you ever seen electricity? The truth of the
matter is, probably not. I don’t know how you would see electricity,
except maybe some static electricity as you scuff your feet in order to
scare somebody to death when you shock their ear!
But really, no, you can’t see electricity. But you know it exists.
You trust that there is something running through the black cord
connected to the wall, which in turn powers the fan, or the toaster, or
the TV. You trust that by faith.
God says that if you want to come to Him, you have to believe
that He is there. It’s a matter of faith. Once you by faith trust
that God is there, you’ve done the first step! Will you always feel like He is there? No. But faith is believing, and believing is a choice, it’s a matter of deciding, not what you feel like.
What do you think? Do you think about faith on a regular basis? In
what areas of your life do you think you exhibit trust in something you
can’t see?
