Faith is Not Magic

America is a band that had a popular song called, “You Can Do Magic.”

You can do magic, you can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know you’re the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well when you cast your spell
You will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay

Lyrics by America

Magic would be a beautiful thing — if it were real.

Faith is another very different kind of deterrent in life. It leads you down roads you hadn’t even dreamed of before. It leads you beside stillness and it casts you into roles you didn’t know existed for you.

Faith is more than dreaming. It is consistent with what dreams are made of. Faith speaks to the dark places in life that tell you there is no way out – things will always be the same. Not so when you begin to believe.

Believing with your wholeheart makes steady the destination God is speaking to you. A table of bounty that delivers.

Faith is not just a word you speak to someone halfheartedly when you want to sound Godly. Faith is for the courageous…those willing to fight the good fight and not give up when the going gets tough.

Faith calls you by name and tells you of your purpose — a destiny that waits for you.

Faith is the surefootedness of a solider that knows the battle is won — the great war is over.

A scenic mountain landscape with the inspirational text 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me' overlaid, referencing Philippians 4:13.

F – ighting for fun because the victory is won!

A – aligning for purpose~

I – timiated by nothing – no devil, no man.

T – hankful that I was called to be a child of God.

H – eartfelt gratitude that I belong to a kingdom not of this world.

Faith allows me to look on the future and smile.
