ONLY BY FAITH       

        “Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand.” — Author Unknown

James 1:5-6, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Abraham stepped out by faith to what God had called him to do. Not knowing where he was going.

Noah stepped out by faith to what God had called him to do. Never before seeing rain.

            All throughout Hebrews 11 we see the patriarchs of our faith commended for their faith. 11:2 says, "For by it the elders obtained a good report." How are we living by faith? Living by faith is obedience to what God wants for our lives. Not seeing what He has done but having faith in what He will do!

            Lord help us to live by faith and not by sight. Help us live according to your will. Guide us, mold us, make us what you'd have us to be!
