"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." (Romans 1:17 King James Version)
It's faith in faith or faith in men and human power or strength. If your faith is in the wrong object or person; then faith can be overwhelming. God wants us to exercise the Biblical and God centered faith. Faith can be deceiving if it's not based in the Word of God and if it's not from God. In Mark 5:25- 35- Jesus in this text healed the woman who had been sick for 12 years. What she did was true and real faith.
But notice the following verses: 35- 43: Jesus said; "... Be not afraid, only believe." How do you like to hear those Words when you get up in the morning with that greetings as fear gets into your minds. A man asked me about the progress and some updates about the mission of going to the Philippines and Cambodia. I said scary and I'm fearful. He asked "Why?" It scares me just to think of the huge amount of money needed. If fear try to gets in the way, it makes you worry of what could be the next step and how you can make this a success by professions of faith.
It's so easy to preach and talk about faith, but it's hard to put it into practice. It was not easy for Moses and Abraham to exercise their faith. (Hebrews 11) It cost them their lives, their job, and their positions or possessions. Faith- when we are in depressing, discouraging and dead end situation. Even if you have given your best, your talent, your all without faith in God; it's impossible indeed to please Him.
The Bible says; "But without faith it is impossible to please Him. It is impossible to please God..."- Ely Roque Sagansay
