It is by Faith that I have been set free… It is by faith that I have been called… It is by Faith that I will go…
Yesterday morning as I left for work I was really struggling and I got on the bus to go to work I opened up my bible. I then turned to Hebrews and I read Hebrews 11 and 12. It was there that God reminded me about having Faith. ” Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 then reading on throughout chapter 11 it talks about how God called Abraham to go to the place where he would recieve his inheritence and he went without really knowing hwere he was going. Goes on to talk about Sarah becomming pregnant at an age past childbaring age, about God taking Enoch to heaven without dying because of his testimony, moses’ parents hid him as an infant for 3 months, moses walked through the seas on dry land… In chapter 11:13 “These all died in faith, not having recieved promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” In chapter 11:16 “But now they desire better that is a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called thier God, for he has prepared a city for them.”
So by faith I have answered his call on my life, by faith i have stepped out of my comfort zone, by faith I have quit my job, my faith I have given up my place to live. So by faith I trust that he will provide.
So, through those words I read yesterday God just reminded me that without my faith in him I have nothing…That I may not always “see” what I am looking for right away. That faith is not about what we “see” it is about what we believe…That it is only through our faith in him that things happen. So today iam putting my total trust and faith in him that his will be done and am confident in knowing that he always keeps his promises to us.
