"Now faith is the assurance of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality."-Hebrews 11:1
We are halfway done with the book! I hope you all are getting something out of the book as much as I am. I can honestly say that I am working towards forming new habits in my life and getting rid of the things that cause me to have bad habits. I have faith that I will be able to break my bad habits......especially with the help from God. This brings us into our next chapter which is Behavior 6: The habit of faith.
We MUST have faith in all that we do!!! If you are trying to get a new job, you must believe that God is going to give you favor and provide you with a job you deserve. When we do not depend or trust in The Lord to bless us, we become stressed, filled with worries and hopeless. Remember, with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. Joyce Meyer gives us two scriptures in this chapter that is a definition of faith: Hebrews 11:1 and Colossians 1:4. God wants us to have faith in him all the time. He loves you and he wants you to do his will. Instead of saying "Oh this is just too much for me" or "This is so difficult," start saying "This may be rough, but with Gods help, he will lead the way and I will have the victory." Speaking like this not only shows God that you trust him, you are also looking at the brighter side of things and makes you feel better mentally.
Some of you may know this story but for those who don't, in the book of Matthew, Chapter 14:22-23, it explains how disciple Peter said "Lord, if it's you, tell me to come to you on the water." The Lord told peter to "come" and as Peter was getting out of the boat and onto the water, he saw the wind, Peter became afraid and started to sink. He cried out "Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, why did you doubt?"
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him saying, "Truly you are the son of God."
God is able to do MORE than what we can imagine......we just need to trust in him. If you haven't put faith in The Lord, I challenge you to try it today. You will be amazed by the wonderful things God can do. As Joyce Meyer said "Taking action releases faith."
