"...Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the
title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the
proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction
of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what
is not revealed to the senses]..." - Hebrews 11: 1
We read in God’s word that we live by faith, not by
sight. We read here that faith is “perceiving as real
fact what is not revealed to the senses”. We ‘believe’
though we do not yet see the tangible evidence.
In some situations faith may come more easily. Other
times it may not. Sometimes the circumstances overwhelm
us – like it did when Peter walked on water. There have
been times in my life where I have had a certainty within
– a ‘knowing’, and this has brought a sense of peace. Then
other times it seems beyond my scope of faith.
I believe our faith is stretched and as a result grows
toward maturity. It’s hard at times, but we need to trust
in our Lord to bring us through whatever situation.
Faith is the assurance and belief
In things we hope for, yet do not see
