Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. - Hebrews 11:1


During my morning walk, the sun hit the waters of the lake at a perfect angle to produce a stunning view. I asked my friend to stop and wait for me as I positioned my camera to take a pic. Because of the position of the sun, I couldn’t see the image on my phone’s screen before I snapped the shot. But having done this before, I sensed it would be a great picture. I told my friend, “We can’t see it now, but pictures like this always come out good.”

Walking by faith through this life is often like taking that picture. You can’t always see the details on the screen, but that doesn’t mean the stunning picture isn’t there. You don’t always see God working, but you can trust that He’s there. As the writer of Hebrews wrote, “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). By faith we place our confidence and assurance in God—especially when we can’t see or understand what He’s doing.

With faith, not seeing doesn’t prevent us from ‘taking the shot’. It just might make us pray more and seek God’s direction. We can also find encouragement in the stories of faith that have come before us (vv. 4–12), as well as remembering God’s faithfulness to us in our own stories. What God has done before, He can do again.


Reflect & Pray
What are you trusting God to do even though you may not see it clearly right now? How has He delivered you or your family in the past?
Heavenly Father, thank You for all the ways You’ve provided for me in the past. Help me to walk by faith even if I can’t see all You’re doing.

I WAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There's no "medical cure" but that doesn't mean your body can't get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor ###, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I'm HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I'm so glad that I found you, Doctor ###. Thanks so much for your goodness I'm grateful. You can also get your help from him through his
website ### or email ### for quick response.
Jesus will heal you. He healed lepers and gave sight to the blind, the lame walked. Jesus can do wonders in our life. Just give your life to Jesus and He will do great things for you and for those who believe in Him.
