What is Faith?
Daily Scripture of the Day
Hebrews 11:1 What is Faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. Men of God in days of old were famous for their faith.

Psalms 20
In your day of trouble, may the Lord be with you! May the God of Jacob keep you from all harm. May He send you aid from his sanctuary in Zion. May he remember with pleasure the gifts you have given him, your sacrifices and burnt offerings. May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans. May there be shouts of Joy when we hear the news of your victory, flags flying with praise to God for all that he has done for you. May he answer all your prayers!
“God Save the King”—I know he does! He ears me from highest heaven and sends great victories. Some nations boast of armies and of weaponry, but our boast is in the Lord our God. Those nations will collapse and perish; we will arise to stand firm and sure!
Give victory to our king, O Lord; oh, hear our prayer.

Sam’s Response.
When we rely upon God to answer our prayers we must believe. To have great faith it to expect what God has promised in his Word will come to be. Also we must remember that God is not going to bless us and answer prayers that he knows would harm us or take us away from him.
I love the way Smith Wigglesworth put it in my daily devotional. “The best time you have is when you are in the most difficult position.” Why is that? That is where your faith shines through, it is a place where you are broken and God is God. You look to him for assurance and to carry you through when you can not. There have been many occasions in my life when I was in this place. For a long time, I would try to work through it with my own power, but I was overcome and overwhelmed with the circumstances. I did not have the Confident assurance that something we want is going to happen.
When we look at the problems and troubles from our worldly eyes, then most often we will struggle to get through and make the right choices. But when we look to our creator, God, for help and we trust he will hear, he will see us through. It amazes me at how many curve balls life can throw at you. It seems like my life at times has been one big curve ball. Then I look at my children and see the blessings of God and all he has done.
Give thanks to the Lord for all he has done…Do not look at the lack in your life, look at what you have to be grateful for. You are blessed….There is much to live for and lots to do in these late days of biblical times we live in.
Rise up and have faith…Faith in God.
