获取软件Extraordinary Ordinary!预览
What are you looking at? What has captured your attention? What you choose to see by faith is what you will receive. Faith looks at a desert and sees a luscious and vibrant garden springing up in that very place. Faith looks at an overgrown and expansive wilderness and sees a roadway to destiny in its place. Faith looks at nothing and sees everything.
It’s not so much about seeing the good stuff or the bad stuff, but it is completely about seeing God’s stuff!
As I read, time after time, this great faith chapter located in the Book of Hebrews, filled with the testimonies of ordinary people who diligently pursued the promises of God with defiant faith, I am reminded I am not alone.
The people whose names are recorded in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews knew the heartless lies of the visible and the sparkling truth of the invisible.
If you could only see with the eyes of faith, what you would see are people, heroes and heroines of the faith, piled up around us on every side. And all of these men and women who have gone before us are cheering! They are shouting words of encouragement and believing that you are going to make it ... just like they did.
Do you see them? Or do you only see you? Are you merely aware of your mortal and frustrating existence? The people that are applauding your life are those who from every generation chose to see what they could not see with their natural eyes. The ones who are yelling the loudest and with the greatest gusto are those who withstood the fiercest difficulties of life in order to do the will of God. All of those who have gone before you are standing and watching with grand anticipation the choices you will make as you walk your earthly path. If you listen, you will hear the acclaim and support of the men and women who held fast to the Word of God and ultimately saw His promises come to pass in their lives.
