I know faith is a real place because I live there. Just as I can sleep inside my house any given night and enjoy the comfort and protection of brick walls, a solid foundation, and roof with a twenty year warrantee, or choose to pitch a tent and camp outside in the wilderness where wild animals roam and the elements invade, I can also either live inside of or outside of faith in God. God wants you to be located at the address of faith in Him. If you have chosen to live outside the parameters of glorious faith, it will be impossible to please Him.
You will not make it through life without being confronted many, many times about whether or not you will stay at your address of faith. Hebrews 11 honors men and women who lived at the address of faith at their specific time in history. Although faced with horrific circumstances and events, they held on tightly to their mandate from command central in Heaven.
Never make the mistake that you are the only person in all of created history who has faced impossible circumstances. Sarah went through menopause before she conceived a baby! Now that is what the medical community would label “impossible” and “ridiculous.” Sarah was an old, shriveled-up woman who in the natural had no reason to believe she would ever give birth to a bouncing baby boy. But God spoke to Sarah and her husband when they were well past the age of changing diapers, of getting up in the middle of the night to feed a wailing baby, and of potty training a toddler. God was not limited by the demise of her reproductive system. Because Sarah considered Him faithful who had promised, there are now millions and millions of people in the Jewish nation.
Sarah did not focus on her unproductive womb, the ancient date on her birth certificate, or on the futility and improbability of her circumstances, but wrapped her heart and mind around the God who had promised a baby.
