Faith is the belief in a higher source of power to change the current state of things in our lives. This sometimes does not seem rational to human reasoning. Why do you expect a change in your health when the expert has given you a diagnosis based on scientific evidence? Faith is sometimes foolishness and it does not seem normal to the human mind.
But I believe that we all have faith one way or the other. This is because we do not ask for the driver’s licence when we are boarding a public transport. We believe that the driver is a certified one and do not ask for any evidence to that effect. We have faith the pilot has been properly trained and has been given the certificate to fly planes. We do not ask for the certificate of the pilot before we embark. We do not ask for the carpenter who built the chair before we sit on it. We trust the restaurant to prepare the food in a hygienic environment. We believe that the active ingredients in the drug as stated on the box is actually there in the drug. So we have some form of faith to live on this earth.
Can we also have faith for divine healing when we receive a damning diagnosis? Can we have faith for prompt payment of all our bills? Can we have faith to pass that examination even though we could not answer the questions as expected? Can we have faith to receive a child when we do not have a womb? Can we have faith to father a child when our sperm count is below the required? These examples may seem daunting but they are possible. We can have faith to receive whatever we want in life. It may not be on our terms and according to our timing but I believe it is possible because there is a God in heaven who can do all things.
I believe that everything is possible to him that believes. If we can believe, then it can be possible. Our faith may be abnormal. Our faith may be crazy. Our faith may be meaningless. But we have acted in faith in certain situations in our lives before and we can always activate that kind of faith to receive anything in this life.
God is looking to those who can have faith in Him. If we believe that God exists and He has all power and might as we sing in our songs, then we must trust in His ability to provide all our needs. He is our father. Fathers provide for their children. Fathers protect their children. Fathers care for their families. Fathers will do everything possible to ensure that their sick child get the needed help. This is why I do not believe in a father who would intentionally put diseases on his children to teach them a lesson. What kind of father is that? A father who would intentionally make his children go hungry to punish them cannot be called a good father. Fathers want to see their children to progress in life. Fathers want their children to be in good health. Fathers are happy when they see their children achieving great heights in life.
If God is your father, then He is a good father. We need to have faith in our father. He is interested in our welfare and will do everything possible to help us get to our destinations. Let us remember that faith in our father in heaven will be rewarded. He is a faithful father who never disappoints. He always has our best interests at heart. He is again a good father.
