Faith

Faith*

as I inhale
shallow or deeply

now

I need not faith

for every breath taken
my lungs expand
a little or greatly

just where I am

but believe I do

tomorrow
we'll share
this same

glorious air

which will also be
there

I do believe

barring no bombings
to threaten our space
tainted with poison
which races can erase

where no one can stand

if left in the hands
of imperfect

man

*"Faith is the {assured} expectation of what is hoped for,
the evident demonstration
of realities
that are not seen." Heb. 11:1.

Faith is . . . the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen.​—Heb. 11:1.

Have people said to you that they believe in evolution because it is based on science whereas belief in God is based on faith? Many hold this view. But it is good for us to keep this in mind: No matter what someone believes about God or about evolution, some type of faith is involved. How so? None of us have seen God or observed something being created. (John 1:18) And no human​—whether he is a scientist or not—​has observed one kind of life evolve into another kind. No one has watched a reptile evolve into a mammal, for example. (Job 38:1, 4) Hence, all of us must examine the evidence and use our thinking ability to reach sound conclusions. Regarding creation, the apostle Paul wrote: “[God’s] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.”​—Rom. 1:20. w16.09 4:4 © 4 hours ago, Lucretia Mccloud    hope • nature • spiritual • teen
