Have An Attitude of Faith

Advent Devotional by Joyce Terryberry

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for,

the conviction of things not seen.”

—Hebrews 11:1—

Our grandson recently had a birthday party. He wanted the theme to revolve around games. One of the games was an obstacle course. One of the parts of the obstacle course was to swing on a rope over a long pool of water and not land in the water. Well, more than half of the children landed in the water, but to my surprise most all of them “shook it off” and repeated the course several more times. Oh, to have the faith of a child, that everything will be okay.
As we go through life, those who have an attitude of faith, know that Jesus is with us even in the unknowns of the future. Like the little children, we must have hope and trust in the Lord.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for giving us the opportunity to worship You and experience an attitude of faith. Help us to never give up hope in ourselves and others. Amen
