Hebrews 11:1-2
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.
Now Faith….
“Now Faith” has substance; it is revealed in the things we hope for though we may not be able to ‘see’ it’s reality. “Now Faith” is the space ( ) we leave for God to fill. It is evidence that we believe the promise that God has given us concerning His plan to prosper us. “Now Faith” is evidence of our trust in His Purpose for our existence. “Now Faith” rejoices in those things we cannot yet see.
It seems so simple, just have faith! To have faith implies belief. It seems so simple to just say 'I believe' and yet it is not simple at all. Words are easy to come by - we are all wired to speak. Faith is more than saying the words, "I believe". Faith is 'allowing' God to fill a vacuum in our lives with His own will as we hope for fulfillment of His promises. Intellectually we may believe, but faith puts aside our intellect, our own abilities and leaves space for God.
