Faith in a nutshell

We have seen that verse before: Hebrews ch.11 v.1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

There is more to this statement than meets the eye. In fact, that's the whole point. The evidence of faith overrules what the eye sees. We may not be able to perceive the hand of God in a situation, but if we have heard His voice, if we deep down in our hearts know that He has already acted on our behalf. If we have written evidence in the Bible that guarantees His intervention on our behalf, and have accepted it by faith.

Then it will come to pass. No matter how big or how small. If the Almighty has already spoken, the matter is settled - all that is needed is for the reality we live in to come into line with His inexorable will. We have a part to play in this. Not to force His hand - as attempts to do this are foolish; but to get ourselves in line with His revealed will first and foremost - to be the person transformed by a life of faith.
