Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
In a nutshell, faith is the product or thing we are praying for despite not seeing or touching it. The Verse from Hebrews says it is what it is! It is the substance and evidence! It is the cognitive indication regardless of no physical manifestation.
We must have faith in God to believe the unseen and know that He will be the one to help birth what He has planted within us. God puts the seed of greatness in us and He calls to it. Some have dreams and see them, while others call us barren and unfruitful. Many times, we are just on hold. God closes the wombs of some until He says it's time.
We feel and see the growth while others do not. God helps us name it so we can see it. This is called vision. Then He will say, “Write it, publish it, speak it out so others can see it too.” You must name it and then others see your child and call it what you said it was.
Others may laugh or mock your vision for no other has the unconditional, non-judgmental that love God has. He sees all of you … your past, your present, and your future. He's pulling you forward saying, “Trust Me, I know the plans I have to give you that expectant end.” That's what pregnant people say, "I'm expecting.” What has God shown you that little ol you will birth? Be like Mary the Mother of Jesus and say, "I am your handmaiden, whatever you desire, I am willing to help birth it on the earth."
Like Mary, who or what has God shown you He needs you to be His Hands and Heart on earth for mankind. As it is in Heaven so let it be on earth. This is the Lord's Prayer that we should pray every day and especially when we lose our way due to all the chaos on earth!
The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13)
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
Remember to stay focused by Faith!
