Trust God, not matter what

Greetings:
God keeps stressing to me the importance of having faith in each of our lives.
In The Bible in Hebrews 11:6, it says it is impossible to please God without faith. If we want to please God, then we have to grab on to faith and never let go.
Faith is taking God for His Word and believing the promises in it.
Knowing what God's Word has to say about something gives us the ability to believe it. Our faith should be based upon God's Word, not some made-made promises, ideals or doctrine.
Faith believes in the unseen. If we could see it, it would not be faith.
Faith is not some kind of make believe fairytale stuff.
Faith is trusting God.
It doesn’t mean I sit and wait for the Lord to have a plane fly overhead with a banner reading:“Go this way!”  That would make it pretty easy to know a direction to go in a situation we are facing. God doesn't operate like that.
We all have promises from God already given to us in his Holy Word – The Bible.
God says, 'I am for you, not against you' ;'I have a plan to prosper you and help you'; 'I am with you. I will provide'.
God Wordsbsays by the stripes that Jesus took for our sins, we are healed.
God Word says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
 No matter what hurdles, challenges, circumstances, situations, hurts, bruises, wounds we face, when we look with eyes of our faith to our Lord, we see the Lord calling us.
His hands are outstretched like when I was teaching my small daughters to walk – and said to them, “Come on, you can do it. Come on, come to me.”
We must never forget Hebrews 11:6 which states, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
It is hard to take direction from God on some days and in some things without our own human conditions attached to it. That is where faith comes in.
When God speaks to us, we need to step back and put what we feel away, put what we think away and put the whys away and just do it.
We know it's God's direction if we have peace in our heart, even when our carnal mind might be telling us something different. Stand on faith and believe.
Be blessed.
