NOW FAITH


Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

This the definition of faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for." In life, we spend so much time thinking on things that don't have much substance, things that don't have any weight to them. It's almost like when eating, somethings will give you the "full" feeling, but it will not sustain you. You find yourself hungry two hours later. But, faith is the substance of things hoped for. Hope is something that you would like achieved. Faith is what gives it its substance. So, hope is the food that makes you feel full, but faith is what sustains you.

To understand faith, you have to understand hope. To understand hope means you have to put yourself in a place where you want more than what you have now. You have to have hope to do better; to want more.

When we feel we can't go any further, hope is what makes you say things can get better. And, faith kicks in to give you peace in the midst of your storm, until things get better. When what you have in your mind is not what you have in your hand....you should then move from hope to faith. When the child you raised calls from prison to say "I'm sorry", your faith should make you say, "Where I am now, is not where I'm going to end up.

Faith gives you peace.

So, throughout your day, find peace while you are yet hoping. Keep your hope alive because you have faith in your God.

DAILY LOVE FROM HIM ABOVE
