This verse enlightens us about the power and significance of faith. Faith is not a vague concept; it serves as the assurance of our future hopes and the foundation of our aspirations. It’s a power that goes beyond what the naked eye can perceive and transcends what rational thought can comprehend. Faith empowers us to hold steadfastly to God’s promises, eagerly await His will, and bear witness to His miraculous deeds. Faith is the foundation of our intimate relationship with God and the pathway to receiving His help and salvation.
In life, we often encounter various difficulties and challenges. The road ahead is filled with uncertainties, and none of us knows what will happen next. Perhaps we feel anxious and fearful. However, faith in God is our strength, our guiding light as we move forward. It enables us to overcome fear and anxiety. When we face life’s storms, faith is our refuge, allowing us to remain calm amidst turmoil, supporting us through life’s toughest moments, making us stronger and braver. Faith is also our hope. Despite the unknowns ahead, we all believe that God has a wonderful plan waiting for us. This hope inspires us to keep moving forward and never give up easily.
Once, I faced a daunting challenge that seemed utterly hopeless. I was in deep anguish, on the verge of giving up. Then, I recalled God’s words: “When you have faith that you will see His actions in your practical experience, then God will appear to you, and He will enlighten and guide you from within. Without that faith, God will be unable to do that. If you have lost hope in God, how will you be able to experience His work? Therefore, only when you have faith and you do not harbor doubts toward God, only when you have true faith in Him no matter what He does, will He enlighten and illuminate you through your experiences, and only then will you be able to see His actions. These things are all achieved through faith. Faith comes only through refinement, and in the absence of refinement, faith cannot develop. What does this word, ‘faith,’ refer to? Faith is the genuine belief and the sincere heart that humans should possess when they cannot see or touch something, when God’s work does not align with human notions, when it is beyond human reach. This is the faith that I speak of.” God’s words gave me the faith to endure. I persevered, believing that God would guide me to overcome this challenge. Despite the darkness that surrounded me at that time, under God’s guidance, everything became clear, and I successfully completed the challenge. Through the experience, I saw that God’s plan exceeded my imagination. God is truly miraculous, and this experience strengthened my faith in Him.
Friends, let us face everything in life with unwavering faith. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, no matter if we can see the dawn of hope, faith is always the strength that propels us forward, the radiance in our lives. Because we believe in the God who created and rules over all things, His love and grace are always with us.
