What faith isn’t vs What faith is

Faith isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future.
It’s  simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.
                                                                – Joni Erickson Tada

Quote

Trust is not a passive state of mind. It is a vigorous act of the soul by which we choose to lay hold on the promises of God and cling to them despite the adversity that at times seeks to overwhelms us. ~ Jerry Bridges, Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts

Psalm 91:2 “I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”

Taking God at His Word

I’m taking the Lord at His word, and I’m trusting Him to prove His Word. It’s kind of like putting all your eggs in one basket, but we’ve already put our trust in Him for salvation, so why not do it as far as our life is concerned? ~ Ed McCully

Go for it!

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. Psalm 37:5
