I came across an old post that I had written almost a year ago. How fitting and perfect as today this is where I stand when troubling circumstances try to tell me to do otherwise. But I will remain to keep my feet firmly planted in FAITH.
The Merriam -Webster Dictionary defines faith as:
1 a: allegiance to duty or a person: LOYALTY.....
2 a: belief and trust in and loyalty to God
b: firm belief in something unseen [emphasis added]; complete trust
3: something that is believed with strong conviction; without question
Isaiah 7:9b declares that "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."
Think about it, as I had. Without Him we are nothing, and can't do anything. Without Him we are completely lost. Falling. Dying. Oh, we may not recognize it. We may even feel that we have it all under control, when in truth, we do not. Never have. Never will.
Here I am eleven months later unyielding in continual trust and reliance in the One who calls me into oceans deep, knowing full well that I will never drown. I choose to trust in a God that I can not see with physical eyes, yet see the undeniable proof all around me. "He is the ONE that even the winds and the waves obey!" Matthew 8: 27. The artist of Glorious Sunrises and Brilliant Sunsets. He is the lover of my Soul who resides within my heart. He is my Lord!
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" ~ Isaiah 6:8
