Faith is often a puzzling thing. Many people struggle with faith when facing strong challenges in life. But faith is base on the character and promises of God. While fear focuses on the visible and natural. Faith is the evidence of things not seen and the substance of things hoped for. Hebrews 11:1
Fear is based on the visible and the natural. It needs to see results. Fear is based on human understanding and the opinion of experts and specialists. But many times when doctors announce there is little (or no) hope, God steps in and shows Himself faithful.
Faith is based on the character of God. He makes a way where there is no way. He has conjured death. He is the One who specializes in making the impossible possible. There are times when faith causes you to take action, while at other times you are called to wait. Fear causes you to act in haste but faith is based on a quiet trust in God.
The greatest test of faith in times when it seems God has pressed the pause button. It is difficult to sit beside the bed of a critically ill loved one. But remember Him who is faithful. Cling to Him while you are in the waiting room of life.
