Faith is not only a power we have within ourselves, it's an action. In order to have faith, we must act and move onward in faith. We can't say we have faith and then just sit and wait for the Lord. We need to show him that we have faith in him by living our lives the best we can, and knowing in our hearts he will lead us and take care of us.
The more we act in faith, the stronger our faith gets. Our eyes are opened to the tender mercies of the Lord and we see how he blesses our lives. Even if things happen that we weren't planning on or at first don't understand, with faith we know that eventually we will understand. And we will continue to trust in the Lord that life is going the best it can for us.
Faith and trust are very closely related. You can't have one without the other. We are blessed to have both faith in the Lord and trust in the Lord. When we completely trust him, we start to see our lives the way he sees our lives-a way to mold us and shape us into the eternal beings he plans on us to be.
