Faith

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen
Hebrews 11:1

It is said that having faith is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as the headlights allow you but you keep driving on because somehow you know that beyond that the road still goes on.

My favourite song on the new Hillsong's Zion album is called "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"  and it goes as follows:

You call me upon the waters

The great unknown where my feet may fail

And there I find you in the mystery

In oceans deep my faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves when Oceans rise

My sould will rest in Your embrace

When I am Yours and You are mine

 

Your grace abounds in deepest waters

Your sovereign hand will be my guide

When my feet may fail and fear surrounds me

You've never failed and You won't start now

And I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves when Oceans rise

My sould will rest in Your embrace

When I am Yours and You are mine

 

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders

Let me walk upon the waters

Wherever You would call me

Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander

And my faith will be made stronger

In the presence of my Saviour

 

 

Even when we do not know where we are going, and fear has us believing that there's nowhere else to go except where we are, we can trust in the One who has our lives in His hands.

Sometimes He will lead us into unknown territory, and expect us to believe in Him, to believe that He knows what He is doing.

 

May we obey His voice, and have faith so that we may grow closer to Him and closer to our destiny.
