Faith

so i was thinking about faith today as my father said that 'faith is a decision not to panic'. i've heard him say this before but have thought about it some more.

the bible says lots about faith, hebrews 11.1 says that 'faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see'

so if we are sure of what we hope for in Jesus and certain of what we can not see, it makes sense that we don't panic. when we step out in faith amazing things happen. all sort of hard things against us can happen along the way. but if we don't panic and keep placing everything in Gods hands, then we will reap the benefits and see lives changed and see God working.

what are your thoughts on faith? what is faith to you?
