Faith

"Faith"

One of the definition I found on a dictionary for that word is "complete confidence in a person or plan"
It is easily to say that we have faith.

Faith in God, faith to your friends, your loved ones and many more.

Have you asked yourself about that word?


Maybe while you are reading this I am still working for our thesis.
As a graduating(hopefully) Computer Science student this is the time I really felt how hard it is to be a college student. Much more different during high school.

Why I am saying this?

Because faith is very much visible during times of difficulties.
When we are in trouble, when we are in pain, when we find ourselves if a very difficult situation. Faith will became our strength. It gives us Hope during those times.

I am talking about our faith in God.

As a human, we are very busy about school, work, to make money, leisure and things that somehow make us forget what is more important.

Being faithful is not only when we are no choice but to call God.

Let us learn to put our trust and faith in God in every moments of our life.

If we all learn to do that, then that is the time when we can live with no anxiety. Not worrying  for tomorrow because you know that God is always there.

When we are faithful to the Lord we cannot help but to obey His commands.

Like Abraham on the bible, when the Lord give him a son and ask him to kill his son as an offer, even though it is very hard as a father to do, with faithfulness to God he obey.
He knew that God has a better plan than him. That God is more important than his son. That God is the one that gives him a child as a blessing.

As he offers his child, an angel hold his hand and prevent him from killing his son.
God is just testing how faithful Abraham is and because he proves that he is faithful, he rewarded so much by God.


Another story is about Mary, when she has been asked by the angel to be the mother of Jesus, with faithfulness she accepted it. She knows that she is single but still she accept because of Faith and as a Lord's servant.

Many times it is very hard to understand God's will.
It is beyond our human intellect that is why sometimes it is hard to obey.

Like Abraham and Mary, even though they did not understand exactly what is the plan of the God they still follow His command because it is God that speak.

In our lives, let us pray to God that make our faith so strong,so that we can obey with everything that He say.

Faith is not about you understand all God wants to say, but you believe and you obey because God is the one speaking.

May your life be truly blessed,
