Faith

What’s another word for faith? Is it trust? Is it belief? Is it a knowing of something? Is knowing that the sun will rise everyday also faith in the sun rising? Deep thought here: Does a rooster believe that the sun rises because he crows? Answer: We’ll never know because roosters are really, really stupid and couldn’t tell us anyways. Another question…What keeps our heart beating, our lungs inflating, our food digesting and our cells dividing? Is it faith? What separates us from the rooster crowing to bring up the sun? Bring out the duct tape for your heads here…Ready? Not much separates us from the rooster, as far as reality. We can’t control that our heart beats, or that we breathe, but we CAN notice those things. A rooster notices that when he crows long enough, the sun rises. He guesses he’d better crow or else the sun won’t come up. Does he know the consequences of not crowing? No, but he feels the power. So…we are not roosters. Fair enough. We certainly don’t think that we can make our heart beat, or our chests inflate, or our steaks digest. That is all unseen energy at work. Call it “God force” if you want. The same force that raises the sun every morning also beats your heart, and makes you breathe. Everything is God Energy, or Source Energy for us New Thought folks. Faith in that energy isn’t something you need to even think about. The faith that the sun will rise is the same faith that we need to have that a special place called Heaven awaits us with God, or Source, when we no longer notice our heart beat, or a breath to take, or smell the Christmas cookies baking…(There just better be pizza in Heaven.) (I have faith there will be!)
