“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1 ESV)
Faith is a spiritual perception to sense and believe that God is truly present and at work in every moment of our lives. To have faith is to have confidence and a firm assurance that God indeed is truly caring for us at all times despite the troubles and obstacles we might seem to be experiencing.
"Faith proves to the mind, the reality of things that cannot be seen by the bodily eye." (Matthew Henry)
We demonstrate our faith by believing that God will fulfill all of His promises even if we are unable to see the fulfillment of those promises currently at work and materializing around us. God always keep His promises. God will fulfill all that He has promised to us through Christ.
We know that God makes all things work together for our good (cf. Romans 8:28). When we affirm the principle of Romans 8:28, we cultivate the soil in which our faith takes root. Although, we do not see, although we do not fully understand, we have confidence that God will always protect us and will always provide for us.
Although we cannot fathom His methods, we can always fathom that His purpose is grounded in His love for us - God is Love and His “Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:8 ESV).
True faith needs no signs or miracles. True faith seeks neither historical evidence nor scientific proof. Rather, true faith is rooted in the conviction that God is faithful to His Word. Without regard, true faith believes in and relies on God alone. And it is through this faith, by the grace of God, that we are saved (cf. Ephesians 2:8).
“…blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” (John 20:29b KJV)
Father, although we do not always see and do not fully understand, we have faith that You are always present and always in control of all that exists. You make all things work together for our good and Your love never fails us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen. †
