*TOPIC:LIFE OF FAITH*
*Meditation:*
*“Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.”Hebrews 11:11*
*Today’s text: Hebrews 11:11–12:*
*TODAY'S INSIGHT*
Faith is the believer’s connection with God. It gives us strength to face life’s challenges, and destroys anxiety, worry, and doubt. Faith takes our eyes away from ourselves, our weaknesses, and our limitations, and fixes them upon God, His character, His Word, and His promises.
*Hebrews 11:11* reveals Sarah’s faith. In spite of her natural limitations, she considered God faithful who had promised. Faith does not deny the facts; it simply refuses to allow the facts to become greater than God. Faith says, “Because I believe in God, all things will work together for my good.”
Faith is consistent, persistent, and relentless. It goes all the way. Ruth demonstrated this kind of commitment when she declared in
*Ruth 1:16:* “… Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” Faith does not turn back when the journey becomes difficult. Esther demonstrated the same resolve when she said in *Esther 4:16:* “Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.” Faith says, “Whatever it takes!” It does not surrender to threats, obstacles, or opposition.
A life of faith also changes the way we speak. Faith fills our mouths with positive, God-centred confessions. Instead of saying, “It cannot be done,” faith says, “It is possible” Instead of confessing defeat, faith declares victory because it knows that God is greater than the circumstances. Faith breaks barriers because it refuses to be imprisoned by limitations. It presses forward until it reaches its God-given target. Faith does not merely hope for a better tomorrow; it acts upon the Word of God today.
Therefore, live by faith. *Habakkuk 2:4b:*
“but the just shall live by his faith.” What situation are you facing today that requires you to trust God completely? Believe God. Trust His Word. Speak faith. Walk in faith. Persevere in faith. When everything around you says, “Give up,” let your faith answer, “I believe in God!”*
*Prayer:*
*1.Lord, strengthen my faith and teach me to trust You completely. Let my words, actions, and decisions demonstrate unwavering confidence in Your faithfulness. Amen.*
*Confession:*
*I believe God and His Word. I refuse anxiety, worry, and doubt. I will walk, speak, and live by faith. I will not retreat, because God is faithful. It is well with me!*
*Further study:*
*Hebrews 10:38:*
*“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”*
*1 John 5:4:*
*“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”*
*Habakkuk 2:4(b):*
*“... The just shall live by his faith.”*
*Romans 1:17:*
*“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”*
