In the past week I’ve been reading in Hebrews 10 about persevering in the faith. Sometimes the circumstances of our lives cause us to wonder, “Is God really there? If God is really there, is God really there for me?” There are times that we aren’t sure what faith is or whether we have any. How do we know?
Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is assurance in what we hope for and conviction about what we do not see. Many of us have memorized that verse, but may wonder about “assurance’ and “conviction”. Those words convey a confidence that we might not have. But even if assurance and conviction aren’t in reserve, we can always hope.
What do you hope for? In what or in whom do you have confidence?
May the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Heb 13:20-21
