Increase our Faith

Faith must be important. It keeps showing up in the Bible. New Testament pages are covered with faith during events, encounters and examples. Our definition for faith comes from Hebrews 11:1.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

How sure are you of the things you hope for? And how certain can we be of things we do not see? We are a people who are accustomed to tangible proof. It must be something we can see, hear, touch, smell or taste. God wants us to know him through another dimension....the dimension of faith. Faith lets us know and experience spiritual things with the same degree of reality as something tangible that we hold in our hand, or see with our eyes. Your faith may begin as small as a mustard seed, but the devoted searcher for spiritual realities learns quickly to pray, "Lord, increase our faith."

Read the entire chapter of Hebrews 11. See the examples of how faith works. You will do well to bring the reality of faith into your experience.

In your activities today think about the things you are sure of, by faith. Is your faith evident in the decisions you make?

Pray that your faith will increase. With the increase, seek new experiences where your faith can be an example to others.

In what ways has your faith given you strength to face difficult moments. Is your faith as real when you experience good times?
