Faith

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

What is faith? Faith is defined by dictionary as a belief, confidence or trust in a person, object, religion, idea or view despite the absence of proof to support it. Faith is knowing that God is real. That every step that we take in life is watched by a God and knowing our strength to go on living is being sustained by a God. Faith is having that confidence to live out the reality of knowing that God is real. Faith is knowing whenever we do something for God's kingdom and it is challenging us to go deeper and seek to further our relationship with God and in all that we just surrender to God's plans and wills. faith is knowing our security is placed upon the hands of God and not within the mind of ours. Faith is the willingness to live out God's words in our life without hesitation. Faith is learning to lean towards God in everything that we do. Faith is admitting our spiritual helplessness and that our spiritual perfection can only be found in God. Faith is knowing that we believe not in what we see through our eyes but we believe in what we see through our hearts. Faith is putting full trust, hope and assurance. People always say "Dont give up hope", I say the correct term would be "Keep the faith strong".

"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Brian Johnson Live

You call me out upon the waters

The great unknown where feet may fail

And there I find You in the mystery

In oceans deep

My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise

My soul will rest in Your embrace

For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters

Your sovereign hand

Will be my guide

Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me

You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise

My soul will rest in Your embrace

For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders

Let me walk upon the waters

Wherever You would call me

Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander

And my faith will be made stronger

In the presence of my Savior

Oh, Jesus, you're my God!

I will call upon Your name

Keep my eyes above the waves

My soul will rest in Your embrace

I am Yours and You are mine

I seek only You

Deuteronomy 4:29-31 But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

Seeking the Lord. The desire of entering His sanctuary, feeling His embrace, knowing His presence and drowning in His love. That passion for fellowship with God and before we even seek Him, He already seek us out by sending His son Jesus to die for our sins and bridging a spiritual gap that separated us from Him. Have you ever felt that sometimes seeking God has become only a necessity, that we only seek Him when we are in need? When we fall sick, when bad things happen, when we are out of ways to go, and only then that we remember God. God perfectly knew this for He said "When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him." But how wonderful it will be if we can seek Him not only for His help to answer our prayers and take us out of our distress but seek Him so that we can be with Him, to feel His love, to just be close with Him. How wonderful a life in which we live it in a way that be it mountains or valleys, we go through life with Him the like of just as parents goes through life together with their children through ups and downs of life or that of a husband and wife going through life together, that He become more than just religion or a belief or a place we go to when we are in the downs of our life, but He becomes a part of our life. We often seek many things in life; money, properties, fame, power, knowledge and some of these things we seek is important so that we can live a comfortable life and so that we can be secure in life. The truth of seeking this things is that we often find ourselves seeking for more and more because of unable to fill the emptiness in the heart. true security comes from seeking the Lord. In seeking the Lord, there is fulfillment of joy, peace, strength and love, such things which money, power, fame, properties and knowledge cannot buy or trade with.

The More I Seek You by Gateway Worship

The more I seek You

The more I find You

The more I find You

The more I love You

I wanna sit at Your feet

Drink from the cup in Your hand

Lay back against You and breathe

Feel Your heart beat

This love is so deep

It's more than I can stand

I melt in Your peace

It's overwhelming
