Strong belief or trust in someone or something.

Faith in the age of science is something that many people struggle to come to. As we approach life as a scientist, we approach it with an assurance that we will have or find the answer to whatever question we pose. We approach it with a mindset that everything can either be proven either true of false. This mindset, though valid in many instances, has kept millions from coming to an understanding of God’s work in our world. It is by faith that we learn to trust God.

God often times tells God’s people to do things that are untraceable and even crazy. God asked Noah to build an ark in the middle of a town and he had never seen rain before. God asked Abraham to leave his family and move to a new place that he’d never heard of before. God asked Moses to go to Pharaoh and demand that he let God’s people go. Throughout history God has asked countless numbers of people to simply believe that God would do what God promised. And when they did, they were never disappointed.

What is God asking you to do by faith? What are you looking to prove that can’t be proven but just needs to be responded to? If you act in faith, you will see God work in ways that only your faith can reveal.

Prayer: God, thank you for giving me the faith I needed to first believe in you. Thank you also for the faith to follow you each and every day. Help me to believe you and your word even when they seem to be unbelievable. Teach me to trust you more each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Scripture: Hebrews 11; Romans 12:3
