Faith opens my heart to receive and enjoy all God s resources. Faith motivates me to action . It compels me to participate in the fulfillment of its own vision. Faith releases power. It makes truth effective in and through me.
Faith has an eternal perspective .
It looks beyond today s struggles and tomorrow's schedule to God's eternal purpose. It pierces through the limitations of sense, sight, and the temporary material world and opens the door to true and lasting reality. Many years ago, Elisha and his servant watched the mighty Syrian army approach their shelter. Turning to God, the prophet prayed and the Lord revealed the horses and chariots of fire to his servant. Fortunately, God seldom provides sight into the unseen to help us believe.
