The Essence of Faith

The Essence of Faith Reading: Hebrews 11:1-6

Devotional: Faith is the foundation of our relationship with God. It's not blind belief, but a confident trust based on the evidence of God's faithfulness. Today's reading defines faith as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Reflect on how your faith in God has given substance to your hopes and dreams. How has God's unseen hand been evident in your life?

Consider areas where you might be struggling to trust God fully. Ask Him to strengthen your faith, remembering that without faith, it's impossible to please Him. As you go through your day, look for opportunities to exercise childlike faith - trusting God completely, even when you can't see the full picture.
