“I waited patiently for the Lord; and He reached down to me and heard my cry.” (Psalm 40:1 NASB) We know the definition of faith, learned it years ago when we were children, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” You noticed that I used the King James Version, but I did it on purpose. Because when we were children, we were not using bibles...

“By faith, Moses, when grown, refused the privileges of the Egyptian royal house.  He chose a hard life with God’s people rather than an opportunistic soft life of sin with the oppressors.  He valued suffering in the Messiah’s camp far greater than Egyptian wealth because he was looking ahead, anticipating the payoff.  By an act of faith, he turned his heel on Egypt, indifferent to the...

“By faith, barren Sarah was able to become pregnant, old woman as she was at the time, because she believed the One who made a promise would do what he said.  That’s how it happened that from one man’s dead and shriveled loins there are now people numbering into the millions.” (Hebrew2 11:11-12 The Message Bible) After yesterday’s lengthy meditation, I thought I would be brief this...
