What is faith?
What is faith? Mark 9:23 Jesus speaking: “If you can believe that all things are possible to him who believes”
Mark 2:9 which is easier to say: “Your sins are forgiven you
or arise and take up your bed and walk?”
Whether you believe or not ... really is not the issue.
Even not what is more difficult ... or what it holds in you.
The question was: “What is easier?” and here hinges truth.
Both were easy to Jesus ... but for Pharisees impossible to do.
To speak words is so easy ... to mean them you can fake.
It takes more than just a tongue ... driven by some reason
To see them jump in action and that for Heaven’s sake
It needs the power of God ... available in all seasons.
What God wills that will happen ... so we need to know His Will.
The things we need to live by and the direction we need to travel
We don’t need to verbalize ... for in silence He instills.
For standing still is only good ... to rest for food and meddle.
The question then arises: “What is faith in God?”
It is said to be simple so that a child can explain.
They don’t need to talk ... but question it not
That's what we ought to be ... to live so and again.
Believing that God can do ... and that nothing is impossible
Believing that God will do ... for His Name is immense.
Believing God has done ... and so enjoy the plausible
and that is what faith is about relaxed and not intense.
