Today's Verse - Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

—Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

"I believe, but help my unbelief!" That's what the father of the boy with convulsions said to Jesus (Mark 9:24). This probably is your prayer at times, too! As we look at the great heroes of faith in Hebrews 11:2-40 — which follows our verse — we know this must have also been their prayer. Their faith wasn't always perfect. Their trust wasn't always mature. But they stayed at it; they believed and acted with a relentless assurance that somehow, someway, God would act and deliver based on his faithfulness and their faith. Let's "hold unswervingly" to our certainty in our God's faithfulness as we look to the Savior and pray, "I believe, but help my unbelief."

I love that verse and the comments I read, that was really on my mind lately as my faith seems to go up and down and that makes me worry that God might be angry with me because of it, but after I read some comments it really helped me to relax and understand that the Lord is not mad with me but just the exact opposite, He knows our hearts and He truly understands, thank you Lord Jesus for understanding and mercy and grace.
