Stirred By The Scriptures

It is clear that we are to live by faith.

Hebrews 11:1 states it very plainly - “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Paul adds to this in both Romans and Galatians, “The righteous will live by faith” a thought first expressed by the prophet Habakkuk.  So we are to live trusting in a hope that is rock solid and all the time not being able to have visible evidence to go by.  I don’t know about you but I don’t always find that very easy. I like the visible, the tangible and mostly I like the things I can control.  My life in Christ is none of these.  I am called to trust in a God I cannot see, live by values that are the opposite of what the world offers and believe in an eternity that I know little about - but that is exactly how I want to live.
