"Every man lives by faith, the nonbeliever as well as the saint; the one by faith in natural laws and the other by faith in God. Every man throughout his entire life constantly accepts without understanding."

AW Tozer

2 Corinthians 5:7:
7We live by faith, not by sight

Galatians 2:20:
20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Mark 11:22:
    22"Have faith in God," Jesus answered

Proverbs 3:5-6:
    5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
       and lean not on your own understanding;

    6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
       and he will make your paths straight.

Hebrews 11:1:
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Jeremy Camp Walk by Faith

I believe it is true that we all live our lives by some sort of faith.  At some point in our lives that faith will be tested.  We will need to examine what we put our faith in and see if it stands up to the rigors of that examination.  Some will decide that what they have place their faith in didn't work and will move on to something else.  Others will continue along the same faith route. 

I put my faith in God early in my life.  Along the way there have been many test of that faith.  I have had struggles and times when I felt I was not living up to that faith, but my faith has never wavered.  I continue to have faith in God and put my trust fully in his hand.

This is so true.  Do you think you could face the day if you didn't have faith in something?
