Faith And Courage
Having faith requires courage. Sometimes in our life, walking in the
dark takes courage. Sometimes we need courage to travel on paths we have
not trod before. In our life we need courage to act in situations where
there is no earthly possibility of an action being taken. Sometimes we
need 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.
Hebrews 11:13 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. (NIV)
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 spirit
nourishment. We live by residing or seeking shelter and in the same way
we must courageously live by faith because our faith gives us shelter
from the storms of life.
