FAITH IS NOT JUST A WORD!

in #christin-trail6 years ago (edited)

people get into cars or other transportation means (trains, boats, aircraft) and in doing so, they commit their trust, their faith. Some do not feel comfortable while flying in an aircraft, which is supposed to be the most reliable source of transportation. Yet we trust sufficiently in the mechanics of the craft and those operating it to bring us safely.

When people read, confidence is expressed in what they accept and believe. Geography students, never having been to the places read about and seen on maps, believe those places exist.

Some will say, "I will not believe in anything I cannot see, touch, control or hear".

Yet, this same people do receive a piece of paper that represents "X" amount of naira for services rendered. I have never heard anyone say, "This is just a piece of paper, I can't trust this piece of paper!" But what do they do with it? With the utmost confidence, they take the cheque, go to the bank, make deposit, and feel assured that their money is in safe hands. They don't see the results of it, they don't feel the mobey; and yet, they proceed on the basis of faith.

We have confidence and trust in this process. We trust, believe, have confidence in and rely upon unseen things every moment, every day of our lives. The truth of the matter is that every human being, whether a believer in God or not, lives his life on a principle of faith: that is, believing. All of us, because of the essential characteristics and make up of human beings, live in a world which, of necessity, activates what is called, "faith".

Everyone lives by some Faith or the other. No doubt faith is a necessary part of our daily life!
