"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews: chapter 11: verse 1 -
A journalist asked Billy Graham, "If you are so blessed by God, why did He allow you to get Parkinson disease at your old age?" The great evangelist reflected a while and said, "I think God wants me to draw closer to Him."
Too often when people are in distress they seek solutions to their problems from one source to another; praying in different places of worship; switching beliefs, even consulting with the unknown; sometime putting their trust in horoscopes. They do just about everything except to come to terms with God.
Our God is a God of Hope, of Love and of Faith. We ought to draw spiritual strength from Him alone and not from any other source. What does that mean? Faith means believing God against all odds. And faith remains UNSEEN. You might have heard these words in church, but until you are put to the test (as I am now), you will not really experience the depth meaning and the truth in it.
