Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
God wants you and I living and operating in ‘Now Faith’. Speaking His promises, letting faith arise in us as we hear His living, powerful Word being spoken out of our mouths, as we stand on, and live by His promises. As you speak His Word, your heart becomes a receiver of faith. The more you speak His Word, the more your faith will increase and the bolder you will become and the easier it will be for you to step out in ‘now faith’ on a daily basis.
Family, remember the saying, “Yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, but today is cash”. You have today, and sometimes life is moving at such a fast pace that you may miss opportunities God has for you if you hesitate… just like when the woman with the issue of blood saw Jesus and reached out to touch Him, it was a now moment; had she hesitated she may have missed the moment of her healing.
We see in Hebrews 11:4, Abel walked in now faith when he gave an offering to the Lord. Genesis 4:1-4 tells us how he gave his first fruits. The Lord saw Abel’s giving as more excellent than Cain’s, because Cain only gave his offering in the course of time. If you do things in the course of time, it may be too late… do what the Spirit is leading you to do NOW!
Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6 also reminds us that He is a rewarder of those that seek Him. When you step out in faith, you are putting your entire trust in Him. It is the most amazing experience to see God come through for you over and over and over again. He is true to His Word - Selah
In His amazing love, Esther
