About Faith By: Thom Daniels
A gift from the Lord of Host
It is not of ourselves or by our works,
Lest any man should boast (Eph 2:8-9)
So then faith comes by hearing
And hearing by the Word of God (Rom 10: 17)
Abraham believed our Lord
And received His approving nod (Rom 4:3)
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
The evidence of things unseen (Heb 11:1)
Jesus is the beginning and end of our faith
And He is everything in between
Who for the joy come unto Him
Endured the cross and despised the shame
Sits now at the right hand of God (Heb 12:2)
Through our faith we shall do the same
And through trials of your faith brings patience
So let patience finish her chore
That you may be perfect and complete
Wanting nothing forever more (James 1:3,4)
And that the trial of your faith,
Which is more precious than fire-tried gold,
Might been seen with praise, honor and glory
For the returning Jesus to behold (I Peter 1:7)
And if you are lacking wisdom, faithfully ask it of God
For He gives to us freely, from birth until beyond the grave
But ask Him with faith unwavering
For he that wavers is like a wind tossed wave. (James 1:5,6)
