FAITH’S GATE!
Hebrews 11:1 – Devotional
Hebrews 11:1
“Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.“
We once lived in a gated community that required using a remote control device to open the gate. It was designed to prevent unauthorized persons from entering. We could open the gate only by using the right code for the gate.
Faith is the gate that leads us from our poverty and need to the certainty of God’s unlimited power. Reading Hebrews 11 is like walking through God’s hall of fame. We observe the faithful men and women who trusted Him with their all. These heroes of the faith saw something that was more important than life itself.
Down through the ages of history—even to our present day—there are men and women who have placed their reliance on things which are seen only through faith in God. In many cases believers have endured pain, torture, even death, knowing that eternal bliss waited just beyond their final breath.
Songwriter Oscar Eliason wrote, “God specializes in things thought impossible, and He can do what no other power can do.” No matter how difficult the circumstances, we can trust God to open the gate in His time and for His purposes. When He does, we can go forward by faith.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
