Crawling by Faith (Hebrews 11:1)
By: Lia Martin Today's Bible verse is Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Have you read the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11? It honors a diverse list of ordinary people who pleased God. By what amazing feat did they please the Creator of heaven and earth? By faith. 
While reading through this list today in Hebrews 11, I was reminded his Word is alive. Because somehow, if you're drawn to it, God will speak truth in your soul. He knows better than we do, the reason we find ourselves in front of specific passages…whether it's in your Bible, on your podcast, even on YouTube. Searching his Word isn't always because we're Christians doing our daily task or eager to bask in its blessing. Often, opening the Bible, or queuing up that study, can be a slow and painful admittance that you've nowhere else to turn. You've forgotten that God sees, or that He cares. Maybe you've lost something, or someone, or a sense of belonging. This past year I've often found myself lost…in fear, sadness, and loneliness. Maybe you've felt some of this, too. In a world teetering through high-tech, low-touch distancing, we want to run and hide from a master plan that's outside of our control. Because as we fill agendas, and do right (or so we think), we're often ambushed by the reality that nothing is certain—other than God. And thank God for that. Because when betrayal, deception, or rejection whips through your best-laid plans, there is always something worth holding on to by faith: the abiding, everlasting presence of God. |
