Topic: Faith And Courage

Possessing faith requires courage. Sometimes in our life, walking in the darkness takes courage. Sometimes we need courage to travel on paths we have not trod before. In our life we need courage to act in situations where there is no earthly possibility of an action being taken. Sometimes we need courage to yield everything to God when we want to keep everything to ourselves. In Hebrews the apostle Paul talks about the life of faith, and Paul tells us in Hebrews 11:13 the Old Testament patriarchs lived by faith. Hebrews 11:13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. (NIV) Living by faith takes a form of courage because when we live by faith we extend ourselves outward by trusting in God. Living by faith is what we must do. We live by breathing and in the same way we must courageously live by faith because faith keeps us alive in our spirit. We live by eating food and drinking water. In the same way we must courageously live by faith because our faith gives our spirit nourishment. We live by residing or seeking shelter. In the same way we must courageously live by faith because our faith gives us shelter from the storms of life.
