Faith - Hebrews 11

S - Hebrews 11:¹ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
O - This if the faith chapter where the old testament characters are talked about in dealing with faith. Faith is what is used when hoping for something and all that exists when something is not seen.
A - Faith, to me, is more than just rhetoric. Faith is so essential in life and needs to be continually built up in many areas. Since faith is the only evidence of things not seen, my faith needs to be rock solid to withstand that tests of time and the tests from the devil. The devil and this world will come against my faith in a blatant attempt to through me off course and to rattle my cage. Faith comes by hearing the word of God, therefore, I need to be continually searching and reading His word to strengthen my faith and to talk about it frequently.
P - Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word. Thank you for your sacrifice. Help me to be well grounded in your word and to strengthen my faith daily so that none of the fiery darts from the devil can penetrate my faith. Help my family also have that strong and sincere faith and help me to encourage and build that up inside each and every one of them.
