You gotta have faith!!
What is faith?
Many a times I have heard people telling me that they do not have faith or that they have lost their faith. However, without realizing it we practice faith on a daily basis. For example when you are driving down the road you have faith that your fellow drivers will follow the road rules and stop at a red traffic light. When you walk to your tap for a drink of water you have faith that when you open it there will be water. So personally I don’t think that we have lost fait we maybe just don’t know how to express it or live it practically.
I asked some of my colleagues how they live their faith practically and I got some interesting answers, but one really caught my attention. We were discussing Job and one of my colleagues said that the whole book of Job can be summed up in three sentences.
- I am in control
- I know what I am doing, and
- I love you
These are the tree main principles that form the basis of our faith. Of course it is hard when the chips are down to believe that God has you best interest at heart, but he does. So today every time you stop at a traffic light, open your tap or put on the light take a few minutes and remember these three practical principles.
