WHAT IS FAITH?
Today's reading: Ezekiel 23, Hebrews 11:1-31, Proverbs 19:9-14

"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see." Hebrews 11:1 NLT

Maybe you memorized this verse in Vacation Bible School. Or Sunday School. Or in s small group Bible study. Or at church camp. Or have it hanging on a wall. Written out on an index card at your computer. On a t-shirt, perhaps.

It's a verse the majority of us know...or do we?

Faith is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.

Faith is believing there is a heaven, when we've never set foot on a street of gold or walked by a crystal river.

Faith is the hope of seeing saved loved ones again, even after the memory of their last touch has faded from our senses.

Faith is knowing, without doubt, that all God has promised will come to pass--for yourself, for your prodigal, for your future, for your joy to be made full, for eternity.

Faith is braving the storm that will end..some day, some time, with some powerful pages of your testimony written in its fury.

Faith is the assurance that even when we cannot see, God can and does and has and will.
