Faith Isn't Ignorance

We live in a world that often sees faith as being foolish. But having faith isn't that you expect bad things to go away.  It isn't that I see things through rose colored glasses and am ignorant of what is physically in front of me; but rather, that I know my identity [in] Christ.  I know who my God is [in His entirety] & I know what His Word says.  But having faith doesn't mean that I know how it will turn out - but that whatever happens I trust God & His purpose & plan for my life.  Recently, I had a bad mammogram & of course the possibility of cancer was forefront.  But the peace that I had could only come from my relationship with God [Father, Son & Holy Spirit].  I suppose that my conversation with God would have sounded very strange to many people - but for me, I understood that it might have been the next assignment that He was calling me to.  Why?  Because maybe He needed me to be in a place where few could be.  Maybe, He needed me to bring LIGHT to other.  Maybe, He needed me to speak Truth to someone - yes - even just one.  Now, at this moment they believe it is benign but come October we will look at it again just to make sure. 

My question is this:  Whatever your circumstances-what do you focus on or what ARE you focusing on? Can you only “see” the problem? Or can you "see" your assignment?  But what if it's a project?  A challenge?  Instead of believing that it can be done, do you only see the reasons or obstacles that it can’t?

The source of my life, the very breath I breath has NOTHING to do with my size, my strength or my resources. It has EVERYTHING to do with the power of my ALMIGHTY GOD.
