In v1 of Hebrews we are told,/Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen/.When we come to consider this verse we have two things highlighted,Faith,/Hope, all that follows in the lives of those mentioned,have these to heavenly qualities.Continually throughout the Word of God we have hope as a vital aspect of our walk with God.Those who are not Christians have no hope,they hope they may win the lottery,but to the things that really matter,the things of God,no hope.John Calvin stated,/The Spirit of God shows us hidden things as that eternal life is promised to us[ John 10v28-29],but it is promised to the dead.We are declared to be just,but sin dwells within us/It is faith that takes hold of the promises of hope,when we are surrounded by enemies,humanly speaking a place of no hope,but a promise is given of deliverance,it is then we exercise faith.A faith that comes from God, a faith that is in God, to fulfil that promise ,which He will ,for He cannot lie.Today, hope in God,have faith in Him ,He giveth not the promise in vain,He cannot fail you, He will not fail you.
A prayer...../ Dear God by faith we come to You,by faith we will walk with You,by faith we believe in all things that You have spoken in Your word, that with You all things are possible,through our Lord Jesus Christ Amen /
