Hebrews 10:23New Life Version (NLV)
23 Let us hold on to the hope we say we have and not be changed. We can trust God that He will do what He promised.
Hebrews 11:1New Life Version (NLV)
Faith
11 Now faith is being sure we will get what we hope for. It is being sure of what we cannot see.
Hebrews 12:2New Life Version (NLV)
2 Let us keep looking to Jesus. Our faith comes from Him and He is the One Who makes it perfect. He did not give up when He had to suffer shame and die on a cross. He knew of the joy that would be His later. Now He is sitting at the right side of God.
Walking in faith is in comparison to walking on a tight rope. We don’t need to look down, up, or even behind us. We have to keep our eyes on the step in front of us.
Hunter and I are reading a book right now titled Prince Warriors by Priscilla Shirer. This book is a fictional book about some kids who are put in another world and given armor to fight with the enemy. The armor is not normal armor, but armor that you have to trust will protect you. In the chapter we read tonight, the kids were on a journey to rescue a fallen warrior. In this particular moment, the kids had to cross a ravine. However, they did not have a bridge. They had been told to trust their armor. In that moment they had to trust their shoes. They put one foot in front of the other and kept their eyes on the light ahead of them. Each step was firm and steady until the enemy started attacking. The moment the kids took their eyes off of the light in front of them, is the moment they would begin to slip. They had to refocus and stay focused on that one spot, trusting that the enemy would not attack. They made it across and were able to celebrate their victory.
Life is a faith walk. A walk that can be very slippery and ugly at times. If we don’t keep our eyes on Him, we will slip and fall. Putting our full focus on HIS LIGHT, is the only way to cross the deep ravines in our lives.
Be Blessed and have FAITH!
