Having Faith & Patience

Faith is the realization of what is hoped forand evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1

This passage from today’s reading from Hebrews is one of my favorite Bible verses. Our society seems to want everything all at once: instant messaging, instant gratification, instant knowledge and wisdom and we get frustrated when we cannot have it. Having faith requires patience. So often we pray and hope for things not seen… God will always answer, sometimes not in the way we expect but He will answer.

So often we are in the dark, and ask where God is in the midst of so much turmoil in our lives. We walk by faith and trust that Jesus will light our path. Faith is not blind. Faith is unwavering trust that all will be as the Father has planned for us. We need to be patient, open our eyes and ears and listen for the voice of God calling to us.

This week I ask you to open up your Bible and read the entire scripture contained in Hebrews 11. Our ancient fore-fathers faced impossible odds in defense of their faith and sometimes certain death… but their faith never waivered: they were a part of God’s saving plan.

When life seems impossible and hope seems far off Have Faith! Our Father has great plans for us all!
