What Can George Michael Teach Us About Faith?

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Hebrews 11:1

Last night my son shared this with us after the evening prayer. When I woke up this morning, I read a couple of blog posts about faith. What a wonderful thought to end and start a day!

Faith is what we hope for and want. We believe it will happen although we cannot see it and have no proof. It comes from the strength of the spirit within rather than external forces. Faith is our invisible get spiritually tangible connection with Him.

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Hebrews 11:3

This disproves the old saying, "You have to see it to believe it." Faith is all about believing what you feel rather than what you see, smell, taste, touch or hear.

What can George Michael teach us about faith? When the word kept popping up, I could not help remember the catchy lyrics of "Faith", a popular 80s song. He wants to touch the body of the one he loves but resists the temptation. He also says, "I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more."
Faith is about waiting for something more and knowing it will arrive. Because you believe, there are no worries or fears. You know it will all work out well because He is with you every step of the way.

Do you believe it if you can't see it? Does the concept of faith make sense to you? Has your faith lead you to "something more"? Please feel free to comment or share your own posts at Gathering 4 Jesus.

Have a beautiful, blessed day!
