Knowing and Trusting - Part 2 - Steps of faith

As discussed in the last entry, knowing and trusting are basic actions we exercise everyday. That's obvious. So, why do I point that out?

Some people say they won't believe in God because there isn't complete proof, and they don't want to take that leap of faith. What I'm saying is, we take leaps of faith every day, whether large or small. Drinking water from the water fountain - that's a little step of faith. Giving the daycare facility the responsibility of caring for your children - that's not easy. Marriage, that's a big step of faith. Some things we just can't know for sure, but based upon our knowledge, we make a decision to exercise trust and take a little step of faith.

Actually when it comes to the question of whether God exists, either way you decide takes faith. You can't 100% prove for sure that God exists or doesn't exist.  So, if you decide that God doesn't exist, you are also taking a leap of faith.
