Faith is the reality of what we hope for, the proof of what we don’t see. The elders in the past were approved because they showed faith.By faith we understand that the universe has been created by a word from God so that the visible came into existence from the invisible.
All these people died in faith without receiving the promises, but they saw the promises from a distance and welcomed them. They confessed that they were strangers and immigrants on earth. People who say this kind of thing make it clear that they are looking for a homeland. If they had been thinking about the country that they had left, they would have had the opportunity to return to it. But at this point in time, they are longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God isn’t ashamed to be called their God—he has prepared a city for them. By faith Abraham offered Isaac when he was tested. The one who received the promises was offering his only son. He had been told concerning him, Your legitimate descendants will come from Isaac. He figured that God could even raise him from the dead. So in a way he did receive him back from the dead. (Hebrews 11:1-3, 13-19, CEB)
Faith is hope in what we can not see. This makes me remember the line from The Santa Clause 2, “Seeing isn’t believing, believing is seeing.” We always want proof. And faith is believing in something that can not be proven.
Hebrews chapter 11 is the faith hall of fame. Everyone who trusted God despite everything and everyone being against them. It is a chapter that shows us that we can trust God.
So do not rely on sight. Trust that God is moving and working in your world.
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
