Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-30 FAITH 信心
Hebrews 11:1-3, 6, 8, 10, 13; 12:1-2 (NKJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Song of Response
Worship Through Prayer
Lord, thank You for all the reminders that nothing is certain in this world. Help me to rest in the truth that my steadfastness and sure-footing can only come from You. Things will go where I don't want it to go, but it's okay. I know that all things will eventually work out well because You are good.
Father, help me center my life in You. That is the only way I can ride the waves of this unpredictable life. Thank You for Your mighty presence that guides me safely through this life. Give me Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding to guard my heart and mind in You.
Father, let me continue to walk by faith and not by sight. Help me to be faithful till the end. Your Word is sufficient to help me understand life. You have revealed enough mysteries for me to know that all things will be well. Carry me onwards when I become too tired and troubled to take another step. I cling to You.
