"For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7
Faith is choosing to believe in something that we cannot see. We can't see the world spinning on its axis, but we believe it to be true. We can't even feel it happening around us, although the world is spinning at the breakneck speed of roughly 1000 mph! We simply have faith in gravity that we won't be catapulted into outerspace.
Likewise, we cannot see the person of God, but we have faith that He is real. We may not feel His presence, but we can choose to believe that He is with us. Often, we can base this faith on what we see God doing, or what He has done for us in the past. However, there are times when we may struggle because we can't see any evidence of God at work. That is when we have to CHOOSE TO HAVE FAITH!
I created this colorful, interactive page in my 100 Days of Bible Promises Devotional. I wanted to graphically demonstrate the spinning world, so I made a stamped and colored world that spins on a paper-fastener-axis. I used the Send Me stamp set for the world and the arrows. I then wanted to create a texure-full background of outerspace, so I used all three Texture Tiles sets to randomly stamp the fabric and fiber of the cosmos, and colored them with Jane Davenport Watercolors. I embossed the word "faith" from the Life in Jesus set, and fashioned a tiny tag with "I choose" stamped inside. I finished on the page with a tag, washi tape, a date flag, and bow.
You can see how the whole page came together in the process video on my YouTube channel or using the link below.
Have faith, my friends! And when you don't, then choose to have faith anyway!
