Sit on that chair.

If you see a chair and you really need to sit, you will just sit.

You will not stop to do a thorough analyse of the chair before sitting.
You will not scrutinise the screws or the legs. You will not check whether it could support your weight. You will not do a survey form to find out from past users whether this chair is reliable. You will not google search for related information about the chair, before making an informed decision to sit on that chair.

You do not know the consequences.
The chair may crumble under your weight. Hidden nails may seriously hurt your bum.
Or you may just get a good rest.

You don’t know. You just don’t. But you will sit. Just sit. No questions. No second thoughts.

Someone told me that is called faith.

Today I was provoked and was very tempted to engage in a battle of words over The Da Vinci Code. I could have. Maybe that impulsive opinionated me would love to do so.

But what for? To prove facts intellectually or to justify faith? I can’t find that reason, hence I backed off.

Just sit on that chair. Don’t ask. Don’t question.

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
