Faith

Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

In the midst of turmoil it is sometimes hard to believe that we can overcome a dismal situation. But we must keep our hope in God. Hope is a goal; a focal point. We must focus on God, not the situation and keep faith in Who He is. Focus on the POWER that is in Him. Refuse to concentrate on the negative. Locked in a pool of water, in darkness, rats will soon drown. But if there is a light visible in the darkness they will swim to their last breath. The light is HOPE. Jesus/God is our HOPE.
With His WORDS He created this universe and all that is in it. He has AUTHORITY to change any situation. We must seek to be in the center of His Will and focus our prayers on His ability, NOT on our human frailty. He has not changed over the centuries. It is man who has changed.

Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob."

Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

Mark 11:23 "For truly I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he said."
