In our

world we have become

increasingly skeptical. We must see

something before we believe it exists. In an age

where information is just a mouse-click away, we have

ceased to believe in things we cannot see. Thus, having faith

in someone or something has become a foreign concept to many

people. But as Christians, we should be different from the world

around us. In the Gospels, Jesus constantly commands us to have faith

and rebukes those who do not have faith. The writer of Hebrews tells

us that we cannot please God if we do not have faith. In Galatians, Paul

instructs us to live by faith. Faith is a high priority to God. Yet, so many

times we refuse to put our faith and trust in Him and instead trust in our

own ability to see what the future holds. We trust our own finite knowl­

edge and forget that God, in His infinite wisdom, has plans for our

good and not for our evil. When we place our faith in God, we trade

stress and worry for peace. Our eyes cannot see what lies ahead,

but we trust that God does and He knows what’s best for

us. Though the road ahead is dark and winding, we

rest our hands in those of the Good Shepherd,

who leads us on. JUST WAIT

AND SEE.
