Hebrews 11:3
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.
Through Faith…
"Things are not as they appear." I remember how often my mom told me this truth, that things aren't alway as they seem and we just need to wait for the truth to be made known. Somehow as a young person that was not so comforting, since I was dealing with the here and now and how things appeared at the time. As I have grown older and wiser, I have realized that mom was simply paraphrasing Hebrews 11:3. Waiting for the truth to be made known is "through faith" simply moving forward and trusting God. Our finances, our children, all those things we see with our own eyes in the here and now are test of our "through faith". We wonder how we will ever see our prayers answered when we just can't see it coming to pass. We need to ask God to give us 'faith vision'- eyes that look beyond what is happening right now and see what God sees just a few miles on down the road.
“Through Faith” is the vehicle that carries us forward when the road we travel becomes a trail and the trail seems to disappear. “Through Faith” carries us on realizing that because God is leading us we can follow the path He is cutting ahead of us. “Through Faith” simply follows the trail markers. “Through Faith” is the all terrain vehicle that moves forward, over and through the obstacles to our progress toward God-set goals and destinations. "Through faith" allows us to see beyond those things that appear to be and view the truth of what God has set in motion and believe that what He has promised will come to pass.
