“I have faith in you.”
How many times have you said, or heard those words? What does it mean to have faith in someone … or something?
Faith seems to be one of those elusive, non-tangible type words. The New Oxford American Dictionary says this:
Key words: complete trust; confidence
Complete trust. Trust seems like a more tangible word, doesn’t it? Something one can better understand, relate to and wrap your head around. The dictionary’s definition of trust is this:
The thesaurus uses these synonyms when describing faith: trust, belief, confidence, conviction; optimism, hopefulness, hope.
Interestingly the antonym of faith is mistrust. But I’ll save that discussion for another post! :)
There are many, many verses in the Bible pertaining to faith. But I think the most popular scripture that describes faith is this:
Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and
knowing that something is real even if we do not see it.
Hebrews 11:1 {NCV}
So if the words faith and trust could be intermingled, let’s look at the scripture this way:
{I have} complete trust {and confidence} that what
I hope for will come to pass. Even if I can’t see it,
touch it, or hear it … I believe it to be true.
Wow! I know for one, I would love … and find much freedom in living out life in that way. Let’s chew on that until tomorrow. {and yes, I just used the term “chew on” … cuz I’m way cool like that!} :)
