Faith

My favorite Bible verse(actually chapter) is Hebrews 11. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. " There can be no peace in life without faith in God. What else is there? For one example, take the stock market-people put all of their faith and hope into money and earthly things and they can be gone with a bad day on the stock exchange. I love all of the stories of the people that had such faith in God. Abel, Enoch, Noah,Abraham, Sarah,Isaac,
Jacob, Moses, Joseph all had this faith. I think the story of Enoch is too cool. Can you imagine being so close to God that you don't die, one he just takes you? Wow! Hebrews says " By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found because God had taken Him."(Hebrews 11:5). I don't know how people survive this life here without the faith that God has something better prepared for us. Every human faces sickness, trials, hard times, etc. It is just so much easier knowing that we are just visiting here and our real home is in heaven. It kind of makes a difference in the way that you look at everything. I live knowing that everyday of my life is in God's hands.
