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

There is an old 17th century adage that goes: “Seeing is believing!” meaning that when something is witnessed with the natural eye, only then can it really be believed; but that is not spiritual truth– believing is seeing in the Spirit– my friends our faith in God gives visibility to the invisible- because with God nothing shall be impossible! Hebrews chapter 11:1states: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

When God makes a promise – you don’t need to see it-just believe it. Can you imagine the mindset of the Prophet Elijah in the account of his being sustained by a poor widow woman in a drought? God commanded that get up and go to a city called Zarephath-and he obediently followed where God lead him; there he found the widow woman preparing a meal for her and her son-assured in her mind that it was their last meal prior to starving to death.

Now the account turns to the faith that the widow woman had to display in what Elijah had said… she was to take the little meal and oil that she had and prepare a meal for him; and get this scripture tells us he stated “For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.” I Kings 17:14,

Don’t miss the blessing in the word of the Lord… “For thus saith the Lord God of Israel…” God said it and that settles it-God’s promises are faithful and true! Elijah brought the message…but God was the sustainer for them all, their bowls never ran dry throughout the entire drought-just when she was about to give up…God stepped in with a miracle!

I ask you is there anything too hard for God?! Let me answer that for you . . . absolutely not- I can attest to the words of the Psalmist. “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” Psalm 37:25.

What has God promised you today-if He promised it, you don’t have to see it-you just need to believe it, because it is already done- our God is almighty, and He is called Faithful and True. You just hold on to your faith, be obedient and follow His commands. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.

 Blessings and peace…know that God will reward your obedience!
