Now Faith, Part II

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

Jon Walker writes: “When we believe that reality is confined to what we see, we become trapped into thinking the only truth is what we see. We become prisoners of our own perceptions; we cease walking in faith…For those who walk by faith, appearances are never the ultimate reality…Reality extends beyond what you can see. For me this is a reminder of God’s Word written in Romans 8:28, even though things may appear bad, God is working things out for our good. He knows how the story ends, so fix your eyes on Him and not on the things which we see with our natural eyes.

Consider every setback as a setup for something greater and that is not a cliché statement it’s the hand of God. God, our Potter knows what He is doing. He knows just exactly how to take those painful situations, broken areas, and missing parts to make something whole.

The journey may not be the one you signed up for. It may include a few mountains to climb, and valleys to go through. It may take longer than you expected, it may be harder than you might have imagined, but faith says God will see you through. God guarantees that you will come forth as pure gold – do not settle.
