Do you have faith?

When the sun sets at night, do you doubt that it will rise again in the morning? No! You simply believe it will come out, even though you cannot yet see it. That is faith!

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
- Hebrews 11:1

We can have the same faith in God because He never fails. Even when we cannot see Him, we can believe that God will not abandon us.

The Bible says that a little faith in God goes a long way. Whoever truly believes can move mountains. To see God’s miracles, you just need to believe and act.

On one occasion, a man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus’ disciples to be healed, but they could not do it. The man then went to Jesus, knelt before Him, and begged Him to have mercy and heal his son. Jesus healed him immediately.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
- Matthew 17:19–20

And you, do you have faith? Ask God today to increase your faith and help you live fully confident in His love and power. Do you have a need? Bring it to God in prayer and have faith, because He will act.

Strangers and pilgrims on the earth

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.
- Hebrews 11:13

Hebrews chapter 11 is known as the chapter of the heroes of faith. There we find a summary of the story of great men and women who remained steadfast in faith despite all the obstacles life placed before them.

Verse 13 gives us a good key to understanding their perseverance. They knew they were passing through life, that their true citizenship was heavenly. They did not live focused on what was earthly and temporary, but sought to obey God in everything, even when doing so brought them trouble.

We were created for eternity with God. We are just passing through this earth; our true destiny is to live with God forever. Therefore, the difficulties of life lose their power over us: our gaze is fixed on the Lord and on the eternal victory He has already won for us.

Our identity is in God. The world may reject us, persecute us, or turn its back on us, but if we know who we are in Christ, we will remain firm and strong without giving up. Establish yourself today in the Lord, as a member of His family for all eternity.

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household.
- Ephesians 2:19

Day Before Yesterday's Word

The result will be a blessing

In this moment, God is thinking about you. Had you ever thought about that? If you love God, it means He is thinking about you and everything you do. And everything that happens, everything God allows in your life, whether good or bad depending on your perspective, has a purpose.

What is that purpose? Everything works for your good. See what the following verse says:

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who^[a] have been called according to his purpose.
- Romans 8:28

You may not know why some things happen, but you can be sure of this: the result will be a blessing for you who were called according to God’s purpose. Even the things you do not understand today are under God’s control and will result in blessing, one day you will see.

Keep trusting in God in the midst of adversity. Certainly, you will not regret it!

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.
- Jeremiah 17:7–8

Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.”
- Isaiah 12:2
