Faith in the Unseen
Devotions:
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
(Hebrews 11:1 KJV)
Another way of saying that is that faith, that is faith in God, is perceiving as real fact what is not yet re eagled to the senses. Our senses dominate us but they sometimes give us an inaccurate picture of what is going on. The spirit world is invisible but it is more real than our material world. All the material world was created from and came out of tha spiritual world. This why we are to walk by faith in God's word and not by what our senses tells us if it contradicts God's word.
This faith is releases and activated by the words that we consistently say. We speak what we believe. So if our saying is wrong it is because our believing is wrong that is it does not line up with the word of God. When I feel sick, I can either agree with my symptoms or the word of God that says that I am healed. I then make my actions agree with what I believe and say.
"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged." (Romans 3:4 KJV)
If God is true then His word is true and can be totally relied upon. We need to meditate on the scriptures until they get down into our hearts and dominate our thinking. Then they will control our actions. If we are doers of the word of God then we will be blessed and securely established against the storms in life that are sent to destroy us. We are doers of the word and not hearers only. Walk by the yet to be revealed reality of the word of God.
