Faith makes Godly decisions. Godly decisions produce maturity and Godly character in our lives. Godly decisions bring blessing to our lives and families. Faith looks at the blessing, the reward, the glory to come. Faith knows that God honors those who honor Him.
Faith makes comparisions.
Faith compares the temporary with the eternal, earth with heaven, suffering with glory, and the present moment with the promised reward. If faith is to make our decisions for us, then we must look to Jesus in the midst of the pressure to choose. Give me courage and faith to do the same. God did not need Moses' ideas on how to provide. He did not need advice from Moses or an opinion poll from the Israelites.
