things not seen...

hey y`all!
today was pretty good. mostly boring really. mondays are always boring b/c they never compare to sunday haha. HSAP testing tomorrow-thursday, pray that i do well :]. i have become addcited to this song rachel has on her myspace. its by Fireflight, & its called "its you" its an amazing song. great lyrics. it'd be cool if me ash & candace did it for youth band. anyway i decided to do my devotion last night on faith. everytime i think about i think back to sunday school and this thing mitchell said, "people have a problem with faith because they cant see it." and thats absolutely true. but if we dont have faith, we have nothing. i know how amazing God is when you put your faith in him. so here are a couple amazing verses on faith, Hebrew 11:1 which says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" which is completely true. i love that. we have to be sure of what we're hoping for, and know that God will make it happen, even when we cant see him. Hebrew 11:3 is also a good verse, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were not made of things which do appear" which tells us the universe was made from something not seen, which i'd like to say pretty much disproves that stupid big bang theory. and the last verse i read, is def. an amazing one. Hebrew 11:6 which says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." this passage tells us that we must have faith in our Lord when we ask him for something, for he answers those who believe in him. we cannot doubt. i know that when i put my complete trust in God things always turn out great b/c God is there for me. we need to realize that we cant make it through anything on our own, we have to realize that God is there for us, and if we dont put our faith in him, we'll fail. i know the minute i realized that it was the minute my life got a million times better. ohh && mr allen & mrs irene- how'd the clowning go??
i love y'all!
God Bless!
