The Roullette Wheel Of Faith: A sure bet
 
Steve Fenning
 
The casino is a place to gamble. A place of luck, chance and vain hope. A place where people have staked their fortunes on a number or a colour only to find it didn’t come up today. Not the kind of place to go if you want to be absolutely, 100% sure of a return. And yet sometimes we can treat faith like a dash of empty hope or even simple good fortune.

I’m guessing you probably wouldn’t be in church today if you didn’t somehow want to please God. Well the bible says that it is impossible to please him without this thing called faith. (Hebrews 11: 6)

So we better know what it is and how we keep it – even when the going gets tough.

File Under: Faith. The promises of God. When God says no. Radical living.

Hebrews 11: 14-16
So if faith is being sure of what we hope for (Hebrews 11: 1) what are those sure bets we can make when it comes to faith. What has God promised us that we can rely on? God might not guarantee us an easy life, untold wealth or perfect health but he does make over 8000 promises in the bible that we can bet on to be true.

Sometimes we get what we hope for but every time we get what God promises. Like forgiveness from our shame (Hebrews 11: 15) and God’s grace everyday (Hebrews 11: 16)
