Faith - The Principle that Makes the World Work.

We live in difficult, rapidly changing times where every value anyone has is under attack. The future is more uncertain than it has been in my sixty seven years on earth. People speak of faith and they speak against faith more and more every single day. Yet faith is the principle that makes the world work.



In the Book of Mormon, Ether Chapter 12 verse 6 it reads, and now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith. Moroni was speaking for our day.



Think about faith. Yes, we would hope you have faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ. But from an earthly perspective, living our daily lives - faith makes everything work. When you get in your car and drive to the store, you are exercising faith that other drivers will not harm you intentionally. When you go to work for your employer, you are exercising faith that your employer will in fact pay you as they have agreed to do. When you go to the Doctor you are exercising faith that he is who he says he is. Faith makes our world work.



One of the things that causes such frustration, anxiety and distrust in our current society is that the faith we are exercising is not being rewarded as it once was. Think about that this week and see if you can identify areas where you're faith is being tested. We must exercise faith for society to work and today, we are living in times where society is no longer working like it once did. Ponder that and how you might make  a difference along the way in our new world.



For a better tomorrow ...
