Faith is unshakable confidence
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he say will happen, it will be done for him.'" Mark 11:22,23.
Faith believes, faith speaks, and faith acts. Faith is unshakable confidence in a positive outcome. Faith is a force that can move mountains and destroy giants. Faith is powerful because it can be applied for others with great results.
On Wednesday, July 24, 2002, nine miners were trapped inside the Quecreek Mine near Somerset, Pennsylvania. It was said that they were trapped for "77 hours of hell", twenty-four stories underground. The news reporters thought they were all dead and that the continued rescue operation was only to encourage the families.
The rescue team however, in spite of setbacks, never gave up hope and would not stop trying, never doubting for one moment that they would rescue their fellow workers. They refused to think or speak negative. What a triumphant celebration when all nine men were rescued and again saw the light of day.
Sometimes our faith is not just for ourselves but also for others. There are people who will need you to continue believing for them regardless of how dark or tedious their journey might be. Have faith in God for yourself and for others.
