I enjoy listening to the Bible teaching of Alistair Begg, who pastors a church in Cleveland, Ohio. I listened to a message of his recently in which he gave an acrostic for the word "faith".
Forsaking
All
I
Trust
Him
What I like about the message of this is that it doesn't describe faith as something I use to get what I want. It assumes that I forsake all, meaning all of my desired outcomes, to trust Him, who knows so much more about what I need than I do. Faith is not a ticket to peace and prosperity. It is a ticket to a roller coaster. But if we watch, we will see that everyone who gets on the roller coaster gets off with a grin on their face.
