Faith

A sharing from my friend's blog:

----------------------------

faith. so easy to proclaim that you have it, but so very hard to put it in practice. it is only in times of need when the value of faith is tested. but when you feel so helpless, all you can cling to is faith. because there is nothing else that you can cling on to. faith and hope.

All Christians need faith to fight off the attacks of the enemy. Faith is our shield, one of the pieces of the armor of God listed that we need to put on daily to ward off the darts of the enemy.

Ephesians 6:16
In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan.

--------------------------

And personally, like I had shared with the gals on Tuesday,
Faith is not just wanting something
And believing it will happen
It's when you don't even know where God is
and also still believing that He ll do something
Someday Somehow..
For me, that was my new experience of faith

hmm sometimes faith can be mistaken for something else.

when i pray not to rain, and i dont bring my umbrella, is it called faith?

when i am sick, and i dont go to doctor and i just pray that He heals me, is that faith?

when i dont have work, and i dont have enough to survive, and i pray that He take care of me like the sparrow, is that faith?

is it faith, or are we testing God?

is it faith or are we expecting magic?

is it faith or are we just lazy to do anything and instead leave everything to God coz we have faith?

i dont know. i still ask myself these questions.

i dont know what to feel and what to think when i see people having faith, just because they dont have anything else to cling on to...

sigh...

got no answers now..

any thoughts on this?
