Faith - Obedience - And Scattered Thoughts

Hebrews 11: 1 says that "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (NKJV) In Verse 3, it says that "By Faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. "

We are guided first by Faith(the substance of things hoped for), through His Word, and then by His peace (You have to know His word before you know it's peace that surpasses all understanding;) )

I could probably stop here. Seems like what's already written is confounding enough for one day.

My Little Addition
The longer I walk with Jesus Christ, it seems I understand less and less everyday. While I learn and gain knowledge, that knowlege has made me realize the overwhelming vastness of His design. I strive for control of the present and the future - to somehow grasp onto what the Lord has put before me. Haha! I make me laugh, that I have the pride to think I would understand His ways.

Lately I've been going through a phase of learning to trust His voice and His direction. When we listen with a pure heart, He will speak to us - When we think God speaks, we must be obedient to what He says, in Hope that each decision made with our purest heart is guided by His eyes. It's a risk we have to take if we want to know His direction and His voice.

Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and I will teach you the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye"
