Faith............

" Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen."
Hebrews 11:1

It is easy to talk about faith when we are dealing with regular situations. Lets not forget whom we serve when times get really tough. When you start worrying, remember that the Gd youre trusting is the very same God that split the Red Sea, opened blind eyes, healed countless sick bodies, created this world and the billions of people, plants and animals we see and appreciate everyday. God has brought us through things we never could have made it through by ourselves. I know we all have more than a few testimonies. For example,

About a month ago, one of my husband's best friends (Jack) called to announce that his doctor gave him 3 months to live because of the cancer that was found inside him and there was nothing more they could do for him. Now, let me just say that although I didnt really care for this man, i coud not imagine recieveing that kind of news...so I began my own little prayer session. I know others prayed as well but I prayed and prayed. My husband was sad but he never gave up on God.Last week, my husband recieved a call saying that Jack went to the doctor for his check-up. After doing their normal testing to see how far the cancer had progressed, the doctors COULD NOT FIND IT!!! They went on to hold him overnight to see what was happening. The next day the doctors had concluded that there was NO CANCER!! He had a problem with one of his kidneys which, with medication coud be brought back to near perfect!! Jack is now on the fast track back to good health!

When we're faced with things that just seem too big, remember how big our God is and when you truly realize just how big he is, your problem will not look so big anymore.

"I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Matthew 17:20

Happy New Year!!
