No chapter in the Bible defines faith more than Hebrews 11, and when we read through that chapter, we find that Noah lost everything that he couldn’t take into the ark and Abraham lived in tents and died looking for but never seeing a “city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God” (Hebrews 11:7- 10).
We find that the mighty in faith—people such as Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephtha, David, Samuel, and the prophets —went through all kinds of crises and turmoil ( read Hebrews 11:37-38). . So why do we in the Church today evaluate faith on the basis of temporal things and temporal power? GOD HAS SOMETHING FAR GREATER IN MIND FOR US! HE WANTS US TO BE STRONG IN THE INNER MAN.
I’m not saying to give up things. Thank God He has given you things! Things can be wonderful, but ultimately, they are no big deal. Nothing of this temporal world produces lasting strength. ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN GIVE THAT KIND OF STRENGTH BECAUSE ONLY THE SPIRIT IS ETERNAL AND OMNIPOTENT. The only true strength and power for changing human lives are found in the Spirit of God. People who are strong on the inside—strong in the inner man, strong in the Spirit—can live with things or without things. Things matter very little. Things can be enjoyed, but they aren’t the reason for living. Those who are strong in the Spirit live for Jesus, worshipping Him with their whole heart.
HALELUJAH! GLORY BE TO GOD: FINISHING STRONG IN THE NAME OF CHRIST JESUS: AMEN.
