Eyes of Faith

Faith doesn't look for bad things to happen.

It's not waiting for 'the other shoe to drop'.

Faith looks for the goodness of the Lord. 

It says, "I will see the goodness of the Lord 

in the land of the living!" 

It speaks with the rising of the sun. 

It does not wait!

It DECLARES God's Promises at the START of the day!

It goes forth with confidence 

and with eyes to see and catch God's goodness!

Faith doesn't get discouraged when it sees evil in the land. 

It never loses heart.

Instead it gains momentum! It picks up speed!

For it knows that goodness will appear, though it tarries,

it knows the Creator works all things for the GOOD.

Faith sees life from a higher vantage point,

from heaven's perspective.

It is not chained to earth's commands, but rather

it responds to Heaven's decrees and pulse.

Like a plane in the sky, 

it navigates through fog and clouds,

rain and snow.

It penetrates the atmosphere.

Faith moves big things like mountains. 

Nothing is impossible.

And it can easily see what is not yet seen, 

what has yet to arrive on the scene. 

It sees it. It perceives it, as if it is already in its hand.

It GRABS HOLD OF IT and it PULLS IT INTO THE NATURAL.

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬ ‭AMP‬‬

I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord. Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭AMP‬‬

For with God nothing [is or ever] shall be impossible. Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭37‬ ‭AMP‬‬

And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.  Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭AMP‬‬

He answered, “Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and [if it is God’s will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. [Mark 11:23; Luke 17:6; 1 John 5:14] Matthew‬ ‭17‬:‭20‬ ‭AMP‬‬
