Today our Oklahoma kids will be arriving just before noon. This is always a blessing. Getting to see them and be with them is nice, but this year I look forward to having them and seeing Kathy responding to family as they offering their assistance with her recovery process. I’m not sure what this entails, I just look forward to the experiences forthcoming.

My bible reading this morning was from Hebrews 11 & 12. It started with verses 1&2 of chapter 11. It reads: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” I cannot tell you how many times I’ve read this over the years but this morning the bold words were bold to my listening ears. Faith is substance and evidence? In the flesh faith is an intangible. The scripture says faith is what we hope for. Well, what we hope for is never tangible until it comes about and we have the evidence. But, the scripture says that faith is also the evidence as well as the substance. Awakening my flesh to God’s Spirit is a daily task and often needs reminders several times in a day.

Maybe this is all part of getting “old”, but I need to quit questioning different things about faith. I want to live in the confidence of faith and believe it is the substance and evidence. In so doing this I show my own evidence to God that I place my confidence in HIM and not in tangible items I can only touch right now. God is incredibly amazing and I do not want to question His Greatness as I live out each day. I will put my faith in Him and believe!
