“I Didn’t See It, But I Knew It” Faith // I Want THAT Kind of Faith

Scripture is loaded with inspiring story after inspiring story. The pages are full of ordinary men and women who do extraordinary things for the Kingdom of God. So what’s the common denominator between all of them? Their faith. The way they sidestepped temptation, they forgave like Jesus, they trusted in God’s plan...it’s awe-inspiring. And for many of us, when we read their stories of hope and trust in God, it leaves us saying: “I want that kind of faith!” One such example is Joseph, a man of God, whose story is recorded in the book of Genesis. He lived a life that was built on an immovable faith and confidence in God. And the best news of all? The kind of faith Joseph had is the kind of faith available to everyone who seeks after it.

One of the more amazing aspects of biblical faith is that it trusts in God’s plan, even when all available evidence points to the contrary. That’s the kind of faith Joseph had. A faith that— even when thrust into slavery, prison, and certain death—said: “I still have faith in the end of my story, because I still have faith in the God who holds me.” Yeah...I want that kind of faith.
