What is Faith?? Faith is belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. In other words it's relying and believing in what we can not see. When a person has faith, they have hope that things are soon going to change. When a person doesn't have faith all they can do is feel sorry for themselves and wallow around in their misery. Which person do you want to be? The faithful or the unfaithful?
I am the faithful person. For God said in Matthew 17:20 "He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain. 'move from her to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Do you know how small a mustard seed is?? It is so tiny it's almost microscopic. So that means that even the smallest amount of faith can move mountains.
I have learned in these past few months that Faith and Prayer can change your whole life's circumstances. Lately I've been quite depressed because I have been looking for a second job to fill the void of income. Recently there has been no luck at all no call backs, no interviews, not even a hint of a job. But I've had unfailing faith, staying strong in prayer, and studying God's word.
As a result this week has been amazing. First my current job gave me a few more hours for a few weeks and I was able to move into my own apartment. I've been busy cleaning and decorating, grocery shopping for those starter menu items. Today I had the greatest miracle of all. I was sitting on the couch reading and all the sudden my phone rings, now understand that I have debt collectors calling me so I didn't think anything of it. I pick it up and much to my surprise it is a hiring manager from a job that I applied for back in the beginning of January. Back then the position that I applied for was already filled, but now another position has opened up and she was interested in me and called me and I have a phone interview today at 3:30 pm.
What would have happened had I given up hope? Who knows...All I know is I didn't give up and as a result I may have an answer to prayer sooner and at a time I didn't expect it. I leave you with this verse "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" Psalms 34:18. So if you're hurting, you're in pain, and totally crushed, cry out to God and he will save you!
