Faith is a marvelous segment of humanity. It reverses life's course. His withered hand was healed by Jesus. Fumbling and impulsive Peter walked on water...for awhile. Oddly---yet maybe not---the chains fell off of Peter when in prison and if you should think that amazing, wait 'til you read what God did when Paul and Silas were impounded.
Faith is a precision tool in the workshop of the Christian worker. As a key, it unlocks rusted doors. As a heat-lamp it thaws frozen hearts. And as a saw it cuts through the toughest struggles.
Faith is not a Sunday slogan for pew sitters. It is a part of people like arms and eyes and lungs.
Faith is a profound factor. One without it is limited as if to have no feet or hands.
What does faith do? It is the believe part of men and women. If one can't believe then such a one is stuck with whatever is. But faith can look over a condition and believe such can change.
Faith has resurrected my life. That's what it does. As we believe Jesus was raised from the grave---by faith---we believe many matters assumed to be the way it must be can be reversed. Faith puts the Yes in life---II Cor. 1:18-20---whereas with no faith one is forced to live a No.
How do we believe well? When we believe God can use a harsh cross and cold tomb as His billboards to save the world, we can believe that the impossible is possible. If death can be defeated (which is man's largest enemy), then anything else of threat can be reversed.
Have a new life!
