Faith: Seeing Things God’s Way

Faith is viewing life from a new perspective – God’s!

The Bible says “Faith is the evidence of things we cannot yet see,” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith sees what most people overlook. People often overlook the truth about themselves or others. Faith is accepting God’s opinion of me, rather than the opinion and statements of others!

One “expert” said of Vince Lombardi, football great: “He possesses minimal football knowledge -- lacks motivation.” Albert Einstein’s teacher described him as “mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in his foolish dreams.” Abraham Lincoln was best known as a failure in business, law and politics long before becoming president.

Beware of seeing yourself as a failure or success based on others’ opinions about you? Wouldn’t you like to know God’s opinion? Our book Snapshots of Faith, might give you windows of inspirational insight. Request it by clicking on this link or call 402-564-5853 to request a free copy.
