Shabbat 3 August 2024
Hebrews 11:1-40
English Standard Version
By Faith
1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Hebrews 12:1-2
English Standard Version
Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
ObservationFaith is the evidence, the assurance, the reality of our expected hopes, the conviction, the intangible things yet to be seen. Faith is what moves GOD, because faith pleases GOD. My faith is that GOD is giving me a good man who will not only love me but marry me, take care of me and live life with me loving and seeking GOD. But faith is also tested with time and trials, GOD will test our faith and it is the hardest when we are being tested by the LIVING GOD, but what GOD wants for us is to endure so that when we receive HIS promise, we are ready for it.
ApplicationI will wait on GOD, I will trust GOD, I will continue living by faith and not by sight, I will run the race with endurance, I have to be patient as I wait for HIS promise to come to pass, I have to control my emotions and not base my faith on what I feel or what I see because faith is believing even if I don't see it yet. I will look to JESUS, HE is the founder, author and finisher of my faith because HE chose me, HE loved me first, HE chose me to love HIM and so I ought to always and consistently depend on HIM only.
