"Faith -- What's The Point, Really?"

©2005 Dr. Frank B. Smoot, MA, DD

Is there really any point to living in faith—or is it just some "abstract" Bible concept?

Well, the simple truth is that everybody lives in some kind of "faith." Some people live in the faith that there is no God, or that God is not approachable. Some people live in the faith that it's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and everybody is out to get them.

Other people believe that you have to struggle for everything you get in life. Are those your beliefs? If so, what kind of an experience of life are they bringing you?

Would you prefer instead to enjoy a life full of peace, love, self-empowerment, freedom, serenity, and fearlessness? If so, here's something to think about.

Every day of your life, you will be living in some kind of faith. It either be will be faith in God, or faith in no God. But the choice is up to you, and you will choose one, either consciously, or unconsciously.

Considering the options, from a purely practical point of view, wouldn't it make a whole lot more sense to embrace the kind of beliefs that that will bring you a life of peace, love, self-empowerment, freedom, serenity, and fearlessness...

...than to have the kinds of beliefs where you ending up slogging through life--the way most people do?

I once hear it said that worrying is meditating on the lies of the devil. My way of putting it is a bit different: I say that worrying is your way of telling God you don't think He has things handled—at least, not the things in your life.

Is that really the message you want to send to God?

If not, I would like to personally invite you to "live the fearless life" that strong faith brings—especially if you are expecting God to give or help you get you whatever it is you really want.

Why is "positive" faith so important? Because in this life, we "create" what we expect—what we dwell on. If you life in fear, you eventually get to experience what you fear.

So be in faith, no matter what! When you fear, you not only pollute your present-moment experience, but sabotage your own future experience as well. But when you live in faith, you get to have a peaceful and positive experience now and you open the door to whatever blessings God wants to give you in the future!

          Peace be with you,
