"faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." (Alma 32:21)
Spencer W. Kimball said,
"The exercising of faith is a willingness to accept without total regular proof and to move forward and perform works. 'Faith without works is dead' (James 2:26), and a dead faith will not lead one to move forward to adjust a life or to serve valiantly. A real faith pushes one forward to constructive and beneficial acts as though he knew in absoluteness. The Prophet Alma gave the near perfect address on faith in the thirty-second chapter of Alma. He gives us: 'Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.' (Alma 32:21.)
"Faith is the planting of seeds, the taking of steps. Faith is the child, and when nourished and fed, grows into maturity and becomes adult in deep assurance and perfect knowledge." (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 72)
-Faith is defiantly something I need to work on and something I need more fully in my life. I hope for things all the time but when it doesn't come in my timetable or in my timeline I give up on what I've been hoping for.
-We are asked to experiment upon the word and to "exercise a particle of faith" this is something I need to work on. I often give up on things I really want and try to do things by myself, or get frustrated because of the trials I'm going through and figure I have to go about it by myself. I need to have more faith in my Savior Jesus Christ and believe that He is there for me and that He will help me and pull me out of my trials and hard times, or at least help me get through them.
Blessing: My Savior is my best friend and I know Him.
