Hebrews 11:7, “..............by his faith he
condemned the rest of the world and was made right in God’s sight.”
This verse speaks of Noah who continued to obey God,
even though everyone laughed at him and probably thought he had lost his
mind. Imagine someone starting to build
an ark to float on water when no one had even experienced the sensation or
reality of rain up to that point. Noah
believed God and performed an act of
faith and trusted God despite what the world thought.
After confession and repentance comes faith. We must believe that Jesus has forgiven us
and in faith, go forth and tell others what he has done for us.
Yes; there will be rejection, ridicule and
condemnation but the rewards will far outweigh the actions of
non-believers. In faith, miracles have
been witnessed and in faith, the sick and afflicted have been made whole. Faith cannot be seen, rather, it is a hope
and belief that God is now and will be forever, what he says he is and promises
to be in His word. In faith we believe
we are forgiven and made whole.
Prayer for
today: Heavenly Father, I believe
you have forgiven me and I am your child.
Just like the centurion in the Bible I am asking you to help my unbelief
and increase my faith so that I may be able to tell others about salvation and
the promises you have given to us. Help
me to spread the Good News about your saving grace and give me grace that I may
obey your desires for my life. In Jesus
name, Amen.
