Faith is the solid, unshakable confidence in God which is built upon assurance that He is faithful to His promises.
Loving the world destroys our relationship with God, it denies our faith in God, and it discounts our future with God.
Believers talk about trusting in the Lord with their whole heart and refusing to lean on thier own understanding, but no one really knows what that means until circumstances cast them headfirst into a dark and painful place. If we give ourselves fully to God in those moments, we will obtain keepsakes of Him to treasure now and forever.
God has stepped in at the last minute more than once in history (remember Moses at the Red Sea?). And He can do the same for you. Keep turning the pages by faith and let the story play out to the end.
