By an Act of Faith

Here are my thoughts and prayer for you and your family today.

Heb 11:20 By an act of faith, Isaac reached into the future as he blessed Jacob and Esau.
Heb 11:21 By an act of faith, Jacob on his deathbed blessed each of Joseph's sons in turn, blessing them with God's blessing, not his own--as he bowed worshipfully upon his staff.
Heb 11:22 By an act of faith, Joseph, while dying, prophesied the exodus of Israel, and made arrangements for his own burial.
Heb 11:23 By an act of faith, Moses' parents hid him away for three months after his birth. They saw the child's beauty, and they braved the king's decree.
Heb 11:24 By faith, Moses, when grown, refused the privileges of the Egyptian royal house.
Heb 11:25 He chose a hard life with God's people rather than an opportunistic soft life of sin with the oppressors.
Heb 11:26 He valued suffering in the Messiah's camp far greater than Egyptian wealth because he was looking ahead, anticipating the payoff.
Heb 11:27 By an act of faith, he turned his heel on Egypt, indifferent to the king's blind rage. He had his eye on the One no eye can see, and kept right on going.
Heb 11:28 By an act of faith, he kept the Passover Feast and sprinkled Passover blood on each house so that the destroyer of the firstborn wouldn't touch them.
Heb 11:29 By an act of faith, Israel walked through the Red Sea on dry ground. The Egyptians tried it and drowned.
Heb 11:30 By faith, the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho for seven days, and the walls fell flat.
Heb 11:31 By an act of faith, Rahab, the Jericho harlot, welcomed the spies and escaped the destruction that came on those who refused to trust God.

Today, I prayed you would experience his love in such a way that everything you do represents an act of faith in him.

Grace.
