“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." We have seen that faith is composed of both knowledge and belief. Today, we learn that the third element of faith is trust. Commit yourself to a merciful God. Rest your hope in Him. The old Puritans (which I have come to appreciate more and more) explained faith by using the word "recumbency." Recumbency means "leaning upon something." This provides us a good picture of what trust is. We need to lean all our weight upon the Lord Jesus Christ. We lean on the fact that Christ is Who He said He was, and that He will do what He has promised to do. Now you know what faith is: knowledge, belief, and trust. Walk in confidence today because you have faith in the Son of God.
