"But whether absurd or not, people of faith believe and obey God".
I came across this sentence while doing my BSF homework for the week and it got me wondering, how do we define faith? Is it quantifiable? How big is big or how small is small? Is faith simply following without the need to understand why? Great men of the Bible like Abraham and Moses were cited as examples of faith in Hebrews 11. But a closer look reveals that these men of great faith stumbled as well with Abraham bearing a son with Hagar and Moses giving God excuses time and again when asked to confront Pharaoh.
So how is it that these men were called men of great faith? I've come to one truth. Obedience. In spite of their weaknesses they obeyed God and over the course of time this obedience forged within them an unshakable faith in Him who is Faithful and True.
Faith is spelled O.B.E.Y..
