Having faith
requires courage.
Sometimes in
our lives, walking in the dark takes
courage.
Sometimes we
need the courage to travel on paths we
have not trod before.
In our life, we need the courage to act in situations where there is no earthly possibility
of an action being taken.
Sometimes we
need the courage to yield everything to
God when we want to keep everything to ourselves.
In Hebrews, the apostle Paul talks about the life
of faith, and Paul tells us in Hebrews 11:13 the Old Testament patriarchs lived
by faith.
All these
people were still living by faith when they died.
They did not
receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a
distance.
And they
admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.
Living by
faith takes a form of courage because when we live by faith we extend ourselves
outward by trusting in God.
Living by
faith is what we must do.
We live by
breathing and in the same way, we must
courageously live by faith because faith keeps us alive in our spirit.
We live by
eating food and drinking water and in the same way,
we must courageously live by faith because our faith gives our spiritual nourishment.
We live by
residing or seeking shelter and in the same way,
we must courageously live by faith because our faith shelters us from the
storms of life.
