The Wonder of Faith in God

Faith, how miraculous, and fulfilling the rewards of God! If only all of us could have a little of Abraham's faith in his unquestioning faith and belief in God, then indeed we could all move mountains and smile more than we cry and the world will be a better place to live in. Abraham cannot figure out how God will fulfill his promise of a son when he was a hundred years old and Sarah his wife so advanced in age, she was already barren; he just let God do the impossible and indeed, the impossible did conform to God's will.

Scriptures taught us the grace of faith, yet the human side of us continue to question and allow negative thoughts to cloud and crowd out the seed of faith within our hearts, mind and soul. By preventing the grace of God to reach our hearts and water the seed of faithfulness within us, we are the ultimate losers because good can only come from positiveness and strong belief in the love and power of God. Did not Jesus admonish us for our lack faith? " Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow or reap nor gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them " Matthew 6:26 and again " Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin," Matt 6:28. The question posed to us was and is:-" And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? " Matthew 6:27 . Indeed, for all our anxious labour,unceasing clamour for wealth and power; for all our scheming and planning ; ultimately, it is the will of God that prevails. Remember, Man plans but it is God who decides. Jesus taught us to simply trust in God " Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" Matthew 7: 7 . The sheer act of trust and surrendering, and leaving it to God to provide, carries the Lord's promise that we will receive whatever that we ask.
