Hebrews 11:1

Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see.

By faith, Abraham left his hometown and went to a new place as God asked him.

By faith, Sarah was able to bear a child although both she and Abraham were very old.

By faith, Noah built a big ark for something that God said would happen but was yet to be seen.

By faith, the small David defeated the giant Goliath.

By faith, Moses and God’s people walked through the Red Sea as if it were dry land.

By faith, the wall of Jericho fell after God’s people marched around it for seven days.

By faith, Daniel was safe even though he was thrown into the lions' den.

None of these people lived to see with their eyes how God was going to save His people. What they did see was the way He worked in their lives and in the lives of those they knew. God met their needs, answered their prayers, and protected them.

May you and I choose to have faith by believing and hoping in God. Always remember all the wonderful things He has done in your life and the life of others. Keep on having faith in Him.

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for the stories of faith in the Bible. Help me to get to know You more through the faith of others and my personal experience with You. Amen.
