1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.2. For by it the elders obtained a good report.3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”.
DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
The Rothschild family is a wealthy Jewish family. Their father Rothschild laid the foundation of his fortune because he heard the news that the battle of Waterloo had been won a day before anyone else in Britain. The fact enabled him to buy up all the depressed money shares which rose as soon as the news became public. It was faith that prompted him to act faster than any other person thereby making the Rothschild family the wealthiest in the world at that time.
Our passage today deals with just three verses exemplifying what faith is. Faith is the demonstration of things not seen. It is by faith that the Spirit of God witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God after our sins have been forgiven and blotted out. Faith in Christ brings pardon. When this happens, a person has the fullest conviction of the truth and reality of God’s blessings. Though not seen by the eye, they are felt by the heart, and such a person has no more doubt of God’s approbation.
We do not see God or heaven; neither do we see the redeemed in glory or the crowns that await us. But we believe and have faith in them and this leads us to act as if we can see them. As Christians, we believe what God says and have the assurance that since He has spoken those things, they are as He said.
The most important thing is to show confidence in God’s sustaining power, most importantly, in times of trial and to act in view of the promises. We must pray earnestly to develop our faith to the extent that we have no iota of doubt concerning any aspect of the Word. We must “let the word of Christ dwell in us richly in all wisdom…” (Colossians 3:16). When we have faith in the word of God, nothing shall be impossible for us.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Believers must perceive with the eyes of faith.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 1-10
