Faith…
What does it mean to you?

Hebrews 11:1 stipulates, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

It is a belief in the unseen, in what has yet to materialize.

With ancient adages like: believing is seeing, drummed into our consciousness, it can be unsettling and far-fetched to have confidence in the unseen.

God is not visible with human eyes, yet He alone creates, manifests, coordinates, and orchestrates all that is. This would allocate the invisible as an omnipotent all-encompassing Force that can accomplish anything.

Faith is believing when everything else says you shouldn’t, which references another proverbial gem: the proof is in the pudding, highlighting again to trust what is tangible.

We seek exterior signs to prompt and assuage our uncertainties, but the external is only a tiny segment of the eternal. Each place in time and space functions for that locality and its inhabitants, which is the life you know and how you navigate it.

Faraway lands may conjure up all sorts of exotic notions and foreign traditions, but the same Source binds us all together despite any perceived distance or difference.

Separation is subjective, and everything is relative. Spinning these two wheels daily places your focus on the visible and tangible, which can be overwhelming.

Great things are always happening visibly, yet we ruminate on the negative, tumultuous, and desecrated each day. Our focal point has become fixated and marred, spoiled by countless abominations that plague mankind. The Lord is always present, through joy and pain; darkness and light, and the physical and meta physical. Nothing exists without Him. Tune into His peaceful loving presence. It’s time to wake up.

~ ”If you can? echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!” Mark 9:23.
