We all know Hebrew 11 as the "by faith" chapter in the Bible. By faith Abraham, by faith Moses, by faith Joseph, so by faith Kristen must be how it would go too right? Well after reading and re-reading this chapter it hit me, by faith...by faith....there is absolutely no other way that I could believe in the Creator and Redeemer person called God, but by faith. There is no evidence of him that I can grasp with my hands. I don't see him every day like I see my best friends. Verse 6 says: "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
Okay so then it hit me again...this whole "by faith" concept is an amazing thing. Living by faith is believing that no matter what the circumstance God is still God. He never changes. He will never go back on his word. His promises will remain. His hand is constantly guiding me and working in my life, but only by faith can I truly believe that. And this reward that he talks about in verse 6 we may not receive today, tomorrow, or even before we died. Even some of the people in the Bible didn't get to see their reward for living by faith. Moses died before the Israelites could enter the Promise Land. Some still faced persecution and even death, but verse 40 tells us, what does that matter when we are serving the King of Kings just by having faith?!!!
