Camp Fasting - Day 7

Faith

By: Michelle Saly

'Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.’

Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

Faith is the bedrock of our relationship with God. It is the unwavering trust that God is faithful to His word, even when the world around us trembles with uncertainty and challenges.

From Abraham’s journey to the Promised Land to David’s victory over Goliath, their faith serves as a testament to the power of unwavering trust in God. Similarly, as we journey through life, faith becomes our guiding light, illuminating the path before us. When we face trials and tribulations in our daily lives, having faith allows us to stand firm, knowing that God is guiding us with every step of the way.

However, having faith is not always easy. It requires us to surrender our doubts and fears, and to trust in God’s wisdom. It calls us to step out in obedience to His voice, even when we cannot see the bigger picture. Yet, it’s in these moments of stepping out in faith that we experience the power and faithfulness of God in amazing ways. When we trust Him wholeheartedly, He is faithful to fulfill His promises and exceed our expectations.

Lastly, ending with a quote from Casey Treat: ‘A faith attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.’ Today, as we navigate the complexities and difficulties of life, may we always anchor our faith in the unchanging character of God. As we walk by faith and not by sight, let us cultivate a faith that is bold in the face of adversity, steadfast in times of doubt, and unwavering in the assurance of God’s unfailing love and faithfulness. 

Prayer:

Dear God, help us to surrender our doubts and fears and trust in You wholeheartedly. Help us to walk by faith and not by sight, so that we may have the courage to walk in obedience even when we can't see the bigger picture yet.

In Jesus' name, I pray.

Amen.
