Scripture:
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:1,3)
Last week I shared how I was wrestling in my understanding of how faith and unbelief relate to healing. In response to that posting, a very dear sister in the Lord reached out to me, sensing my struggle and encouraged me. I was deeply moved by her compassion and thought this is exactly the kind of love that Jesus was telling us in John 13:34-35, when he said, "by this all men will know you are my disciples, if you love one another." Paul also said something similar to the believers in Rome when he told them to "be devoted to one another in brotherly love". (Romans 12:10) Thank you my dear friend.
Well taking what she said to heart, reading in Hebrews I came upon chapter 11, the faith chapter and I decided to read this chapter multiple times to saturate myself in the Word from this chapter. I thought to myself, yes, this is what I need to do so that "he must increase and I must decrease." (John 3:30) So this is where I am right now, with a decision to read Hebrews 11 multiple times to let the Holy Spirit of God saturate me with the Word. Will you join me? Will you take a couple of days off in your personal Bible reading and studying, and saturate your soul with Hebrews 11? If you do, then please share a comment to my next post. I know God will continue to bless all of us on this blog.
Request:
That God would reveal His Word to us and fill us with His mind.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, We surrender to you and to your will. Help us understand your Word and grow in grace so that we may be equipped to serve you and give Glory to you. In Jesus Name
Amen
