I believe in miracles for I believe in God

The title above is part of a song (with CCLI number 18981). This simple sentence expresses the reason why we have faith in God.

These days I am reflecting on Hebrew 11, which describes a list of men and women with faith in God. The more I think about them, the more I am amazed by their level of faith. Some of them have a specific God's promises beforehand, some of them don't. Some of them received what God has promises during their lifetime, some of them don't. The reason for them having the faith of God was not man's wisdom/knowledge, not security from their government, or any other than believing God.

For me, it is not easy to have this level of faith. Things like economical problems, uncertainty, relation problems, natural disasters, sicknesses, disabilities, persecutions, long term problems, something that is out of control, or even my weakness can bring me near to skepticism. For some, the struggle leads to questioning God or God's goodness/love. At that moment, it is important to keep holding on to God (through prayer, bible reading, communities, etc). 

I pray that you and I can have an unshakable faith in God for what He is.
