2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV) We live by
faith, not by sight.
These seven words are a real mouthful. To live by faith means to never worry...oops. To live by faith means I trust in God and His perfect timing...oops. To live by faith means there is nothing I fear, nothing that will keep me awake at night, nothing that causes me to be afraid of tomorrow. I work on this daily, you too?
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what
we do not see.
There they are again, words that paint a picture of perfect peace. Faith is not visual, faith is a heart thing. Faith is a Spiritual gift, a precious confidence in God's Word. For me faith is experienced, felt, learned and finally embraced.
When I want to understand faith better I turn to Hebrews chapter 11. This section of scripture reveals the faith of our Fathers'. The words are like music and they read like a beautiful story with the happiest of endings. Read through Hebrews 11 here and see if you don't agree.
2 Corinthians 5
