Faith is often described as believing in something or someone without seeing or logical proof.
When I read Hebrews 11:13-31 (known as the faith chapter), I was again encouraged by God’s Word. I took each section and jotted down a little summary of what faith can cause one to do:
- Faith causes you to step out of your comfort zone. (Abraham)
- Faith causes you to have hope in the future. (Isaac)
- Faith causes you to see many blessings. (Jacob)
- Faith causes you to prioritize. (Joseph)
- Faith causes you to not be afraid. (Moses’ parents)
- Faith causes you to be selfless. (Moses)
- Faith causes you to persevere. (Moses)
- Faith causes you to defeat your enemies. (people passing through the Red Sea)
- Faith causes you to see mighty things. (The walls of Jericho)
- Faith causes you to be hospitable and obedient (Rahab)
“All these great people continued living with faith until they died. They did not get the things God promised his people. But… they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.” (verses 13 and 16)
Let these men and women of faith be motivators for you to keep your faith in Christ. You probably will step out in faith and not see the fruition of it all, but keep the final goal in mind…Heaven.
Step out in faith and put a smile on God’s face.
Step out in faith and see how God is proud of you and is not ashamed to be called your God.
What will faith cause you to do? (I would love to hear your story.)
Blessings to you!
