Encouraging Scripture-Step Out in Faith

Have you ever been around a person who is always expecting the worst?  Cheerful people, aren't they?  The funny thing is, when you live life without faith, the worst often does happen.  Faith is the belief in the unseen.  I used to think that amount to allowing for the possibility that something good might happen, but having a contingency plan if it didn't.  God wants us to live in a confident faith, one that is based not in our belief in ourselves or others, but in Him.  That's something we can believe in and enjoy the blessings that come along with it.

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
