Faith

I believe faith is the key to many things, even despite circumstances.

Having faith doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have the road map.

It just means that you're trusting and believing without knowing.

To have faith in God, is to trust Him without knowing what's coming your way.

"By faith Abraham,

when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,

obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going."

[Hebrews 11:8]

Abraham had no idea where he was heading,

But he had faith that God would guide Him to the right place.

All God told Him was just that He will provide a nation for Him.

And with no road map, Abraham took that step of faith.

Sometimes having faith can be the most difficult thing.

Because it requires us to go beyond the natural things.

Remember the part where Abraham was called to sacrifice Isaac?

He obeyed because even though he may not understand God's plans,

He knows that he can always trust God.

But thankfully God stopped Abraham and saved his son in the nick of time.

Often at times when we take that step of faith,

Troubles and circumstances always seem to drown us so quickly.

But it is at these times where we should remind ourselves:

These are just tests of faith.

And with great faith, comes great doubts.

All the men of great faith in the Bible stumbled and doubted countless of times.

But they held on to His Word and managed to strive through the doubts.

Always remember that failure is not the end of the world.

Failure means you have learnt something,

And you have the chance to start all over again.

Failure doesn't mean that God has abandoned you;

It just means that God has a better idea for you (:
