Of What Does Faith Make Us Certain?

"FAITH...MAKES US CERTAIN of realities we do not see."

~Hebrews 11:1NEB

What realities can we be sure of? There is a popular notion about prayer which assumes that the thing asked for ought to be the object of faith -- "Lord, give me this or that," wherefore "this" and "that" become the realities. No. The Bible states the absolutes that we can be certain of: the character of God, his Love, his will that we be conformed to His Son's likeness, his sovereign control of all the universe. When faith latches on to those realities which we do not see with our eyes, it can never be confounded.

If it makes the thing asked for its object, faith itself will dissolve if the Lord's answer is no, or not yet, or wait.

"In Thee, O Lord do I put my trust. Let me never be put to confusion."

~Psalm 71:1 AV

~Devotional, by Elisabeth Elliot

I'm Still Yours

~Kutless

If You washed away my vanity

If You took away my words

If all my world was swept away

Would You be enough for me?

Would my beating heart still sing?

If I lost it all

Would my hands stay lifted

To the God who gives and takes away

If You take it all

This life You've given,

Still my heart will sing to You

When my life is not what I expected

The plans I made have failed

When there's nothing left to steal me away

Will You be enough for me?

Will my broken heart still sing?

If I lost it all

Would my hands stay lifted

To the God who gives

And takes away?

If You take it all

This life You've given

Still my heart

Will sing to You

Even if You take it all away,

You’ll never let me go

Take it all away

But I still know

That I'm Yours

I'm still Yours

Oh, I'm Yours

I'm still Yours

I'm still Yours
