An elderly woman was starting on a railroad journey from a terminal out of which many trains move, although in different directions. Not having traveled much on the trains, she got confused.
Afraid that she was on the wrong train, she showed her
ticket to somebody in the seat immediately in front of her & said, "I
want to go to Bay City, Michigan. Is this the right train?"
"Yes, madam."
Still, she was not quite at ease, for she thought that
perhaps this fellow passenger might have got into the wrong train too; so she
stepped across the aisle of the car & showed her ticket to another person
& was again told:
"Yes, madam, this is the right train."
But the woman was a little uncertain still. In a few moments
a man came in with the conductor's insignia on his cap; she beckoned to him
& said, "I want to go to Bay City; is this the right train?"
"Yes, madam, this is the right train." And now she
settled back in her seat & was asleep before the train pulled out!
This illustrates the simplicity of taking God at His word.
She did nothing but just receive the testimony of that conductor. That is all;
but that is faith.

Heb 11:6 (GNT): “No
one can please God without faith, for whoever comes to God must have faith that
God exists and rewards those who seek him.”
