Unfortunately many of us have faith in the wrong things. We believe in sickness instead of health, in poverty instead of plenty; and in misery instead of joy. We regard these things as realities, whereas the realities are things which have lasting value, not those which pass.

If we want to be well we must have faith in health and think in terms of health instead of sickness. If we want to have all our needs supplied we must know that we share in God's abundance and dwell on that rather than on poverty. As for joy - we must lift up our hearts to God and not give way to misery. We all have to endure sorrow at some time in our lives for it is part of life but we should not allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by it.

Let us have faith in the good and lovely things of life. Let us fill our minds with what is true rather than with what only appears to be true and is not. We show our faith in our fellowmen daily - why not in their Creator?
