"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. Men of God in days of old were famous for their faith." (Hebrews 11: 1 - 2 TLB)
Abraham understood the very essence of faith. He faithed, that is to say, he obeyed as a consequence of his faith. If a friend accepts your dinner invitation, you do not wait until he knocks on the door before you start preparing the meal. Whether it is faith in your friends, the family doctor or a product or process, you believe because you consider the promise trustworthy.
Why then do you consider your friends, doctors, government more trustworthy than God? God's promises are coded in the Bible which never changes. Jesus asked his excited disciples after He calmed the turbulent sea, "Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?" (Mark 4: 40)
Lord Jesus increase our faith.
