WEEK 13 : DAY 2
ACTS OF FAITH
Hebrews 11:8-10
By an act of faith, Abraham said yes to God's call to travel to an unknown place that would become his home. When he left he had no idea where he was going. By an act of faith he lived in the country promised him, lived as a stranger camping in tents. Isaac and Jacob did the same, living under the same promise. Abraham did it by keeping his eye on an unseen city with real, eternal foundations—the City designed and built by God.
In Faith, there is an action and that action reveals where your eyes are focused. The Christian walk is not a blind walk, it is a walk of belief.
Belief in who? In what? Some of us claim to see but we are shortsighted; running on our sight using the scale of experience( the past and the present); oh! How blind that is! Owning the control and acting based on such sight.
However, there are those that have subjected their sight to God's sight; running on the sight of the Complete One using the scale of Truth (the past, the present and the future); Owning the control by losing the control to Him.
The Act of Faith is a walk, a work hinged on what God reveals though His Word in letters or in pictures. The Act of Faith is based on Revelation: a movement that proves total belief in the God in you regardless of the price to pay to get the prize paid.
I conclude with this:
Hebrews 11:32-38
I could go on and on, but I've run out of time. There are so many more— Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, the prophets....Through acts of faith, they toppled kingdoms, made justice work, took the promises for themselves. They were protected from lions, fires, and sword thrusts, turned disadvantage to advantage, won battles, routed alien armies. Women received their loved ones back from the dead. There were those who, under torture, refused to give in and go free, preferring something better: resurrection. Others braved abuse and whips, and, yes, chains and dungeons. We have stories of those who were stoned, sawed in two, murdered in cold blood; stories of vagrants wandering the earth in animal skins, homeless, friendless, powerless—the world didn't deserve them!—making their way as best they could on the cruel edges of the world.
I pray today that you act on your faith as you live and move with His Revelations making choices of Trust in Him in Jesus name, amen.
