• Religion Is Nothing Without Faith

  This post (by accident believe it or not) is like a second part to my last post "Hope Wont Let You Down". lol hey it works!

  Anyways.... faith is similar to hope, Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances  in one's life. Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth of or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. or in this case religion. hope and faith are some of the biggest keys of a successful life following Christ. Faith is what you need to start in believing Christ. Hope is what you need to keep you faith going. Hope is VERY important. because following Christ is never easy. In fact, Life is never easy no matter which path of life you take. then thats when Hope comes in. its like all the sudden you know God can get you though ANY situation. and you keep going..... and going...... and going.....and going..... Thats hope. Now like i said before at first it may seam that God isn't doing anything to help, But for some reason that we may not now of. So its for the better. And also trust is needed in situations like that. And things will get better sometimes it doesn't JUST happen. It takes time. Faith and Hope, one of many things God gives us to get though tough times.

  Thanks God.

   ¹ Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous;
         it is fitting for the upright to praise him.

   ² Praise the LORD with the harp;
         make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.

   ³ Sing to him a new song;
         play skillfully, and shout for joy.

   ⁴ For the word of the LORD is right and true;
         he is faithful in all he does.

   ⁵ The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
         the earth is full of his unfailing love.

   ⁶ By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
         their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

   ⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea into jars ^[a] ;
         he puts the deep into storehouses.

   ⁸ Let all the earth fear the LORD;
         let all the people of the world revere him.

   ⁹ For he spoke, and it came to be;
         he commanded, and it stood firm.

   ¹⁰ The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
         he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

   ¹¹ But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
         the purposes of his heart through all generations.

   ¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
         the people he chose for his inheritance.

   ¹³ From heaven the LORD looks down
         and sees all mankind;

   ¹⁴ from his dwelling place he watches
         all who live on earth-

   ¹⁵ he who forms the hearts of all,
         who considers everything they do.

   ¹⁶ No king is saved by the size of his army;
         no warrior escapes by his great strength.

   ¹⁷ A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
         despite all its great strength it cannot save.

   ¹⁸ But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
         on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

   ¹⁹ to deliver them from death
         and keep them alive in famine.

   ²⁰ We wait in hope for the LORD;
         he is our help and our shield.

   ²¹ In him our hearts rejoice,
         for we trust in his holy name.

   ²² May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
         even as we put our hope in you.
