Hebrews 11
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Does God Worry? No. God sees the unseen.
And through his faith, though he died, Able still speaks.
Cain and Abel - God had a plan. Nothing is unseen to Father God.
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Enoch did not worry God. Enoch had God's compassion.
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen
Noah did not worry God, Noah had God's Compassion and Care.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
God knew exactly where Abraham was going.
God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared for them a city.
Did God worry about Isaac? He did not. He knew the events.
By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.
God never worried Isaac would not be a father.
God never worried Jacob would be stingy with blessings.
God never worried Moses would move off to Gaul or Rome. And defeat the plan of God. God never worried Moses would marry in Egypt and stay a comfie Egyptian.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
God did not sit up late at night and worry He would not be able to work the Acts of God. God did not lightly take life - He sent Jesus to live as an Egyptian, in His early years.
29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
God did not pace up and down worrying if they would walk past the heaps of water.
God did not sit and sigh thinking about the walls of Jericho archaeology shows us suddenly collapsed.
32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms,
enforced justice,
obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
34 quenched the power of fire,
escaped the edge of the sword,
were made strong out of weakness,
became mighty in war,
put foreign armies to flight.
35 Women received back their dead by resurrection.
Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life.
36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two,
they were killed with the sword.
They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated—
38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
God saves the best for after our Journey through life.
39 And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Abba,
We give our cares to You.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Because of Jesus. And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy.
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?
Thank You God, for Your Goodness.
Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Jesus is with us.
We know this and clearly with expectation - Lift up our cares, our lives. And the ones we love. The People our Father God puts in our lives to last and have harmony. For His Goodness. For the Nation and all the believers. To bring more Heaven to earth. Jesus Amen.
