February 18: Hebrews 11:1-2

Key Verse: Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Devotion:
What happens when we loose faith in something? We can no longer trust it or believe in it because we can no longer see our hope leads to a conclusion… When the people of Israel were being guided through the desert by God, they continued to have faith whilst they could see the pillar of cloud and the pillar of light. But if they did not see the physical proof, they would lose faith in following God and start to wander off into worldly ways instead.

When we lose our trust in God, we lose so much in our lives! Imagine not being able to trust someone after they had done something wrong and broken that trust… But God does not break the trust but keeps His promises and shows us our faith in what He has promised is a sure thing… But we still allow doubt to come into our lives…

If we are able to put our trust in what God has said will happen, we show the world we have faith in God. When you can show the people around you that you have faith in something, especially in God, then they are encouraged to try and seek out what you know as the truth. This is the best way we can show anyone we have faith in God…

It all comes down to us saying we believe and showing we believe. That is what others will see as the measure of our faith. If we can show this to God, then our God will know our true feeling and will support us more in our lives.

Points to Ponder:
How much do you trust God’s Word?

Will you try and have a bit more faith in God’s Word?
