Our Future is Only as Bright as Our Faith

Our Faith is a critical part of our future. It is by Faith that the Savior was able to walk the path that he walked. He knew the path that he was to walk was not going to be easy but he still did so. He did it because he had Faith, Desire, Hope and Confidence in the Fathers plan. Christ himself quoted " If ye will have Faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me". The Lord will only do what your Faith is willing to do. Mountains can be moved by having Faith in God the Father and His son Jesus Christ. That we can do anything if we just have Faith. 

If  we automatically assume that we are to fail ,we will fail. David did not go into battle with Goliath and say "I cannot beat this Giant". He went in faithful that the Lord would provide a way. The scriptures speak of a path that would be provided as we have Faith. This path will be prepared a more excellent way then any other path. Faith is the route that we must go through these day and times. Here are some words that come to mind that we must have, to walk upon this path. Desire,Hope and Confidence. 

Desire is the will to get something done and accomplish any task at hand. Hope is another way of saying "I believe". Hope is the sign that you believe it can be done. Confidence in other words" wax strong" will allow your Desire and Hope to have power. Your confidence will be your sword in battle. It will help you to keep yourself on the path from those that will want to drag you off of it. 

I feel that our future will only be, what we believe it will be. We will fall and sometimes just straight up fail.Our Desire will get us, to get up when we fall. Our Hope will build our Belief. Our Confidence will build or willingness to step up for what we believe. Overall our Future will depend on our Faith. How far are we willing to go with that Faith? The distance we are willing to go will be the same amount we have to seek the Kingdom of God. Not only our Future here on Earth depends on our Faith, but our Future after death, in seeking the Kingdom of God. 

I invite all of to gain a Desire to return to the presence of God. Then to have hope that the Lord Jesus Christ will be there to aid you when you fall. And to have Confidence that the path that is described in the Scriptures is the path that the Lord wants you to take.I know that our Faith in the Savior Jesus Christ will allow miracles to happen within our lives. I promise you that our Future will be as Bright as our Faith! If it may be our future here on Earth or in Heaven and testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
