I have complete faith in knowing that Jesus is my Savior. However, faith does not stop there. Faith is knowing, without a doubt, that God is in control of all in my life. In my human frail state, I often allow faith to wavier, but why?
Faith is the certainty of things hoped for;
A proof of things not seen!
Oh, to know what is in store-
Before doubt creeps in -
Before the wayward sin;
But faith wavers
When we see no Godly favors.
Pride is applied-
Doubt becomes the guide.
There’s unblinking, human thinking,
Daily dealings and feelings,
Setbacks to the max;
All which hinder faith
And the listening to what God has saith.
Like the ocean’s ebb and flow;
Like the back and forth of the wind that doth blow;
Like the to and fro of life;
We only see the strife.
Oh, where is the constancy of faith?
The staying power before we cower?

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:2-3 NIV
