Something to think about.
Derived
so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5
Your faith is not derived from nor was it ever intended to be derived from introspective thought or analysis. Nor from the hallowed halls of academia. There is but one source for your faith, and that is the ever present God Himself. We derive faith in the unseen God because of the evidence of His seen power in our lives. We have faith in Him because of His living in us.

Living On The Edge
Something to think about
Living On The Edge
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)
The next apropos question is what is faith?
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
This is the most challenging verse in the Bible. It is asking us to put life into our faith. It is asking us to actually go out on a limb and live what we believe. To actually, walk around day by day being the miracle we so dutifully proclaim. Living life expecting the word of God to be alive in us. It is commanding us to live our lives to the fullest potential of what God has gifted us with. It is living in expectation of victory which only God can perform, not just occasionally but every day of our lives. "To live by faith and not by sight" is to live life on the edge of existence. Whatever that may be for you. Knowing that God will provide the next step in your journey. A walk of faith is total dependence on God. It is that place where the carnal and spiritual meet and we become subordinate to the spirit of God.
