FAITH IN WHAT WE DON’T SEE Hebrews 11:32-38 How difficult it is at times to trust in God and believe unwaveringly in His promises. The harsh reality is that often times the child of God must suffer many persecutions because of their faith. They through patience must wait seemingly forever on the things hoped for but not seen. The wife who believes that her alcoholic husband will be saved and delivered or the mother waiting on the return of her son from prison, or perhaps the child who has been abandoned, that wonders when his parent will come back. In many of these cases it would appear cases time is not their friend rather an enemy. What about the injustices of this world? Many of us can’t even phantom the level of cruelties which are capable from the hearts of men. Should we be most amazed at the wickedness of human nature, that it is capable of thinking up such awful cruelties to inflict upon their fellow-man? Or stand in ewe at the excellence of Divine grace, which is able to sustain, yes even raise up the faithful under such acts of cruelties, and to carry them safely through them all? Many times we think, “Oh how awful it was back in the early days of the Church when Christians were persecuted for their faith, thrown in Lions dens, sawed in half, torn apart on torture racks, beheaded, boiled in oil and left out on an island to die alone. Times aren’t so much different today. Just look around you it’s everywhere, in the newspapers, on the radios and televisions, people talking about it over their workstations, in the restaurants on the streets at the bus stop. Some of the evil imaginations of men, their compulsion to inflict these thoughts and desires upon an innocent human being, whether child or adult it makes not difference. How does one live in a world which has such little respect for human life and even less for someone who calls themselves A Christians. I am persuaded that it is only by the grace of God that one can truly survive the wickedness of this world. My heart is saddened for those who, have come to know the God we serve, and are relying only on intellect to survive. You know street smarts, that which you acquire from life’s brutalities, which teach one hopefully how to avoid the next attack, or how to get them before they get you, and by all means trust no one. What can we glean from the book of Hebrews today? That even though based on the writers account, “Not one of these people, even though their lives of faith were exemplary, got their hands on what was promised. God had a better plan for us: that their faith and our faith would come together to make one completed whole, their lives of faith not complete apart from ours.” (Hebw 11:39-40) That in fact one day we would all see that which we have believed, and sure enough we have, for we have seen the Son of God Himself, Jesus Christ. Now we are approaching that time of season we call Christmas… but in fact isn’t Christmas everyday that a soul (man, women boy or girl) comes to know Jesus Christ; a birth takes place and another child of God is born again. No, it’s not just a season it’s an everyday event. Blessings and Peace Mardina
