Encouraging Scripture-Faith is not tangible, but it is necessary

Keep the faith.  Easier said than done, because faith is intangible.  By definition, it is unseen.  You can't prove faith, you just have to know that you know it.  The information age we live in aggressively discourages that, relying more on tangible data to make decisions and chart paths for people, corporations, nations, even churches.  While God doesn't want us to turn our minds off, he wants us to expand into the unseen, the unknown.  That's when we have to rely on Him rather than the latest news report or a spreadsheet.  That's where He really blesses our socks off.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
