Faith toward God

Faith toward God
The word faith has many varied uses and meanings in the bible. In the old testament trust is interchangeable with or used instead of the word faith. Let’s start with a clear description of what this faith that is toward God really means.
Faith used in Hebrews 6:1 is: to Trust steadily in the Truth with confidence.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on
your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge
Him, and He shall direct your paths. Prov 3:5-6
&
"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to
the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
When you Know the WAY, you can not be lost
When you Know the TRUTH, you can not be lied to
When you Have the LIFE, you can not die
Who is God to you?
How do you perceive God? Do you see Him as some kind of “Sky God” way out in the wild blue yonder somewhere, looking to send you ‘straight to Hell’ if you mess up. Or as an ever-present (Heb 4:16), faithful (1John 1:9), with you at all times (John 15:4), Holy Guest (John 14:16-17), sharing your every day life (Heb 13:5-6).
In Romans 4:20 we see that Abraham “was strong in faith”, was strong is translated from the Greek word endunamoo, it is from the word dunamis, it means: Miracle working God kind of power or power from God. Endunamoo is how you feel towards a wall, when your sitting rocked back on the two hind legs of a chair, and the wall is supporting you. Abraham was trusting in, relying on, and leaning against God’s power to support the weight of his situation. God was saying to Abraham then, and is saying to you now, “lean on Me when you’re not strong, I’ll be your strength, I’ll help you carry on.” Faith toward God is knowing that He will never not support you when you are trusting Him.
Do you ever think when you’re rocked back it that chair, “Gee, what if the wall lets me down, what if I’m not good enough for the wall to hold me up, what if the wall doesn't even exist.” No, you have such faith toward the wall that those thoughts never even enter your mind.
without faith it is impossible to please God: for
he that comes to God must believe that God is God,
and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him. Heb 11:6
God is God, and He is Big enough, Strong enough, Mighty enough, and Able beyond all you can ask or think, to deal with the ‘mole hills’ in your life. Do you TRUST Him to do what He has said He would do for you?
You Lord, will keep him in perfect peace,
whosoever’s mind is stayed on You:
because he trusts in You. Isa 26:3
Before faith came (Gal 3:23), you trusted in what you knew, the schemes you learned, what you could do for yourself, you operated ‘under the law’. After faith comes (Rom 4:20), you trust in what God knows and what God can do. Faith toward God is entering into His Rest (Heb 4:10).
Worry, Fret, and Fear Do Not Move God…
Faith Toward Him does !!!
