Hebrews 11:1 “Now FAITH IS the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen”

Today a short encouraging and challenging thought about the concept of FAITH from Hebrews 11:1.

I want to focus on,  – FAITH IS – notice it doesn’t say ” FAITH WAS” or FAITH WILL BE“. Faith is  right now, currently what you are thinking, believing, feeling,- today not what you were believing yesterday or hope to believe  tomorrow.

Your FAITH today will effect your tomorrow, A small amount of FAITH NOW, – equals huge results in your future.

Faith is always in the now

Apply some FAITH now, today, – to your words and prayers, and see your tomorrow transformed.

I believe that real faith is meant to be tough.
Real faith can take the hard knocks.
But where does that type of faith come from, and how can we possess it?
When tough times come where is our faith centred?
I truly believe for most people - faith gets centred on the problem at hand.
Therefore the problem is the centre of attention and faith becomes a peripheral thing.
Our thought is – “maybe just maybe my faith might be strong enough if I’m lucky to overcome this thing”
With this outlook the mountain almost always will look bigger than any amount of faith you can muster up to challenge it.
Our faith has subtly become inversely proportional to the problem itself,  and therefore dictated by it.

Faith in faith won’t do it either, as I said in my last post - faith has to have an object, that object isn’t the situation we are facing, the object of our faith is the Author and Perfector of our faith – JESUS.

So if you have a mountain to move today get your eyes off the mountain and onto the object of your faith, a bit more time with HIM and a little less time worrying over other the problem is the Biblical recipe for GREAT FAITH.

“Look away from all that will distract to Jesus, Who is the Leader and Source of our faith” Hebrews 12:2  Amplified Bible

Consider this view of faith -

Biblical faith always depends upon its object.

You can have little faith in thick ice, and you survive.

You can have great faith in thin ice, and you drown.

It’s not the amount of faith – it’s the object in which you place it.

The Bible always says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
