The Bible says, " The Just shall live by Faith" But all of life is 
affected by faith.


How What You Believe Affects Your Future

        There once was an artist who sat in a Pub celebrating a contract to 
paint a portrait for a very rich man. As he was waiting to order his 
second glass his eyes fell on the headlines of a famous newspaper. It 
read, "The Economy is About To Go Down".
        He thought if the economy is about to go down then I should not waist my 
money on a second drink.
        He went home and told his wife that " The economy is about to go down." 
She said that she had better cancel the dress she had ordered from the 
dress maker.
        The dressmaker was going to expand his place of business. When he heard 
that "The economy we about to go down" he said, "I must not do the 
building that I had planned."
        The rich man who owned the construction company, when he heard that the 
contract was canceled because of the bad forecast for the economy said, 
"I must save money and not waist it on a portrait."
And so he canceled the contract with the artist.
        The artist after the contract was canceled in sorrow went to the pub. 
There he saw the same paper with the same headline but this time he read 
the date. The paper was 10 years old.
