In a devotional
I read from "Parenting by Design" put out by Christianity.com on November 23, 2011 entitled “Faith in the Unseen”, I am
reminded of the Scripture I posted to my FB page - 2 Corinthians 4:18 "We fix our
eyes not on what is seen, but rather on what is unseen, since what is seen is
temporary, and what is unseen is eternal."
Today's devotional is about
Noah's decision to take a bold stand for righteousness for the spiritual
well-being of his family in the midst of nay-sayers, persecution, and social
ostracism. Could you imagine the consequence that would have come to mankind
had Noah disobeyed? But it was his faith
in God that rescued his family from spiritual shipwreck. It was his faith in God that changed the
history of mankind. He fixed his eyes on
what he could not see – what was eternal, instead of what he could see. Anyone can possess faith for what they can
see, but real faith exists in the hope of what we do not see that is yet to come.
It reminds me of two instances
in my life when I did not walk in faith.
