Psalm 111, Hebrews 11

In the past few weeks of prayer, I have been brought to tears in awe of God. I think I'm extolling him with all my heart (v.1) but it probably doesn't even scratch the surface compared with the first day of heaven. Think back to Genesis 1. Everything starts with His creation. We read in Hebrews 11 that faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see, and it is by this same faith we believe that the universe was formed at God's command. What we see now in the planets, the stars, and the world around us was not made out of anything that was visible or already existed, it was created by the spoken word of God. Once we base our life on that truth, we see not only God's plan for redemption and His hand for provision, we can also begin to see that God exists beyond everything and anything we could possibly imagine. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this could be the irresistible faith that people see in us? Let's add our names to the Hall of Faith in today's reading. By faith, we will keep our eyes fixed on the hope and promise of Jesus until His return.
