“Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” Psalm 2:12
Faith is a divine exchange. We exchange the visible for the invisible. (2 Corinthians 4:17-18) We let go of the tangible to obtain what is intangible. (2 Corinthians 4:17-18) We forgo trust in self, in order to trust in God. (Proverbs 3:5) We relinquish what we can control, to give God control. (Proverbs 3:6) We surrender our will, so that we can live in His will. (Luke 22:42) We give up doing it our way to do it His way. (Isaiah 55:8-9) We renounce self-centeredness for God centeredness. (Mark 8:34-35) We confess our unrighteousness to receive His righteousness. (1 John 1:9) We risk temporal loss for eternal gain. (John 12:24) We exchange the ashes of our lives for the beauty of His. (Isaiah 61:3) We ignore what we can see, to discover what He can see. (Romans 4:17) We set aside what we know, in order to learn what He knows. (Isaiah 55:8-9) We exchange the unpredictable for the predictable. (Hebrews 11:1) We give away what we have, so we can receive all He has. (Luke 6:38) We forego our time-table for God’s time-table. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) We disregard the natural to appeal to the supernatural. (Romans 4:19-20) We silence the negative to speak the positive. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 & 2 Corinthians 4:13)
