-The Best of Success
FAITH is…. the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
In religion, in personal fortitude, in the trust of another individual, whether it be a family member, teammate or co-worker. We accumulate a level of trust to place in someone or something. By this increasing this level of trust, we increase our level of FAITH in that very thing. The more we trust the more we have faith and the more we have FAITH, the more we want to share that FAITH. That FAITH could be in our God, ourselves, our team or our product. But we, as humans, pursue precipitously after the unknown to make sense of it all. To believe in what we cannot see, smell, taste, hear or touch. To acknowledge the intangible as if it were tangible.
Let’s go beyond the senses. The humanistic school of thought is reason, evidence and proof. To the realist: Where is the burden of proof? Where are the facts supporting the claim? I say, how can one live on being realistic? There are more things in this world we don’t understand that those things we do. We’d like to think we know everything, yet we know each of us don’t know enough. There was a saying I used to say, “The more I know, the more I need to know, and the more I need to know let’s me know that I don’t know that much.” I know that the things I didn’t understand earlier in life doesn’t mean they won’t happen or cannot exist. I know that seeing may be believing, but what we don’t see still may come to pass. We do not see the rows of corn in the field but we have FAITH that in that tiny seed, even in less than perfect conditions, there will still spring forward a crop. We know this because we don’t see it in the seed, we see it in the manifestation of the seed being planted and the seed having FAITH that it will become. The seed has the faith needed to be.
So what of the things we do not know of? Just because we haven't seen it happen doesn’t mean it won’t happen or won’t become. In the movie “Men in Black” Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) tells Agent Jay (Will Smith) “1500 years ago every one knew the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago everyone believed the world was flat and 15 minutes ago you knew people were alone on this planet.” Miracles are just happenings waiting for us to understand. 200 years ago it would be a miracle to see a man fly. But once we understood the aerodynamics of flight…… it is so common and makes so much sense elementary kids can explain it to me.
I just want you to get this; FAITH is believing in a higher intelligent power creating the universe and ourselves. I, personally believe there is a God and He supplies all our needs. I have never seen Him yet I have seen His presence. I have never heard Him, but I believe He speaks to me. I have never touched Him, yet He has touched my heart.
“FAITH is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations.” –Elton Trueblood
So…….
1) I can trust, believe and have FAITH in something I cannot see, hear, smell, taste or touch and
2) The supernatural is the natural not yet understood. And
3) That FAITH is not contrary to reason.– Sherwood Eddy
That FAITH is a higher faculty than reason.– Henry Christopher Bailey
and That FAITH is a continuation of reason.– William Adams
HERE’S MY POINT!
If we can stop seeing things as they are, and start believing them as the ought to be. Then we can see ourselves not as we are, but as we should be. We can shake off every thing that has limited us to mediocrity and average. We can have FAITH inside us like the FAITH of an acorn that says “ I will be planted, be nurtured, and grow to be something magnificent even though I am a seed.”
FAITH will give us the confidence to be what we aren’t and pursue opportunities to become.
When you begin to have FAITH, I believe you are going to experience SUCCESSNOW!
Let's Make a Difference, Make it Happen, Let’sGO!
