This is my first Wordpress post. It’s a subject I’m happy to be able to write about my faith in God and faith that my plans will succeed.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1

 

“Faith is not feelings,” a pastor of mine used to say.  Over the years, I’ve discovered the truth of that statement.

 

Now, what he did not mean was that feelings had no place in faith.  Without feelings, our faith would be pretty boring or maybe nonexistent,

 

When I don’t “feel” faith, when no spiritual “high” fills my soul, I may still be faithful.  While I’m at that spiritual plateau, God may be building my “hoped for” quotient.  I’m not seeing exciting evidences of faith, but because I still trust in God, He is quietly increasing my faith each day.

 

You can relate to this to your work.  Every day isn’t a thrill, but that doesn’t mean that every day isn’t important to your work.  The exciting days keep you going, and you look forward to them, but if you have too many exciting days in a row, you may just wish for a quiet one to catch up on the chores you haven’t gotten to.

 

On those less-than-exciting days keep hoping and working for God.   The job isn’t finished yet.

 

Thank You, Lord, that even on unexciting days, You are faithful still.  Help me hold on to the evidence of things I haven’t seen while I trust in You.
