Faith without evidence

Text: Hebrews 11:1(KJV)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Assume, someone who you believe and trust so much made a promise to you, how do you usually feel? I know since it is someone you trust, you will just believe and immediately get so excited. You did this without any physical evidence because you have faith you will receive what has been promised to you. The reason why you believed that promise is because you know that particular person has built integrity and you have no doubt at all. Our text of today defined faith to us, as hoping without any evidence seen. This makes us to understand that faith gives us divine guarantee and confirmation of what you have not seen. It is our evidence to prove what is still unseen. Faith is like our tangible proof that what we are expecting will happen with assurance. The truth is, while in the point of having faith, we usually just wait and keep expecting that the time for the promises to be fulfil is very close. We do this because we have developed trust and firm confidence in the person who we have faith in which is God. We do this despite the situation we find ourselves. Hebrews 11:6- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Remember, waiting does not diminish any man. The truth is, we should be fully persuaded that what God has said it is settled.

The book of Hebrews chapter 11 gives us a lot of example of people who practiced faith and the reward which they received from God. I know in the point of having faith, the trials which we are facing will seem harder, but we need to see those short-lived troubles with the eyes of faith. We should therefore build our confidence in God based on the integrity of His word, so as to experience the magnitude of His works. We should always remember to focus on things that are not seen because the things seen are always temporal but the unseen are eternal. Like it says in 2 Corinthians 4:18- While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. So therefore, activate your faith today and fly into your future glory. 

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. Father, help me to always believe on what You have said, even when I am facing contrary wind and circumstances, in Jesus name.

2. Oh Lord, may I see the light of the unseen reality of my inheritance in Christ, in Jesus name. 

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to step out today, because faith can be intangible.
