Jim's Devotional - October 10th

October 10th

Galatians 3:8&9 gives us some wonderful insight to faith, “And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.” Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Another translation says, “Faith is the underlying ingredient that makes hope come to pass.”

Faith is believing in spite of not seeing. Faith is believing in spite of not feeling. However, our faith is not blind. It is believing a God who has proven Himself in countless ways over thousands of years.

God said to Abraham in Genesis 12:2, “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.” My friends, this is a covenant of faith. Let’s put our faith in God and His blessings. Let’s put our faith in God and obey Him and be a blessing. Let’s put our faith in God for His blessing on our families, our church, our communities, and our nation.
