Walk With
Christ Devotional - What is True Faith?
When Carrie tin Boom
and her sister were found and sent to a concentration camp, Carrie taped a Bible
to her body.
She had no idea that
the guards would make them strip off their nice clothes and give them rags to
wear, But the Bible was never even seen by the guards, God hid the Bible from
their sight,. She had the Bible all the time she was in the concentration camp.
Only God could have
done the hiding because Only He can blind satan.
Carrie had true faith
that God would take care of her, that doesn't mean she wasn't afraid, it means
she had faith that no matter what happened she was in the arms of Jesus Christ.
Faith is like radar
which sees through the fog, the reality of things at a distance that the human
eye can not see.

Sometimes when I was a
child my Mother or Father would say, Shut your eyes and hold out your
hand." That was a promise of some lovely surprise. I trusted them, so I
shut my eyes instantly and held out my hand. Whatever they were going to give me
I was ready to take.
So it should be in our
trust of our heavenly Father. Faith is the willingness to receive whatever He
wants to give, or the willingness not to have what He does not want to give to
us.
Elisabeth Elliot
Let us fix our eyes on
Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.................
Hebrews 12:2
Sometimes when we ask
for something God doesn't give us we think He isn't listening to us , but that
isn't so what we ask for either isn't good for us or He has something better in
mind,. Keep Faith with Him as He does with You.
May our Loving and
Ever Faithful Father Hold You in the His hands.
Your loving sister in
Christ Sharon Rose
