Faith Understands

Many things happen in this life that we simply do not understand. Why? That's the question when tragedy, heartache, and trouble comes our way. The imagination takes us into many false and foolish ideas. However, faith takes you to the solution of all circumstances and problems. Faith will always take you to God. When doubts assail you and unbelief threatens you, faith finds a sure refuge in God. 

Faith understands what the world cannot know, because faith knows God. Nothing is beyond God's knowledge and wisdom. Faith is willing to trust God to understand what unbelief can never discern, and what doubt can never receive. 

Faith understands God rules over all. Faith knows that God leaves nothing to chance. Faith is sure that God is working all things according to His purpose. Faith knows for sure. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). How can we depend upon such wonderful knowledge of God? "By faith we understand" (Hebrews 11:3).

Unbelief cannot know the things of God, much less understand them. Doubt can never be sure about God. The world says, "If I can not see it and understand it, I will not believe it." Faith testifies, "I believe in God, even though I cannot see Him. I trust God, because He rules over all." Faith understands.
