PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND NATION:
Give us eyes to see, through the lens of FAITH, eternal realities ahead (Heb 11:1). #BelieveItSeeIt #BelievingIsSeeing
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
Building on the eternal realities explained in Hebrews chapters 8, 9 & 10, chapter 10 closes with three references to FAITH: v 22 – assurance of FAITH; v 23 – God is FAITHFUL; v 38 – the just shall live by FAITH. FAITH is mentioned 32 times in Hebrews. Chapter 11 mentions FAITH 24 of those times (only the book of Romans mentions FAITH more times – 38).
Following the theme of FAITH, Hebrews chapter 11 begins with the DEFINITION of FAITH. FAITH is then fleshed out in the examples of many saints. FAITH is defined as a “Title Deed.“ It is confirmation (assurance) of a divinely guaranteed reality. FAITH comprehends and believes what cannot be experienced by the physical senses.
FAITH is like looking through the lens of a camera. The photo is composed and pictured (revealed in the lens to the photographer), before it has ever been captured and printed (read 11:1 again). Lord, may I see through the lens of FAITH the eternal realities that await those in Christ Jesus.
