One of the most popular scripture verses about faith, Hebrews 11:1 ā¦ tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seenā¦ ugh come again?
I canāt speak for everyone, but this verse always stood out to me, but I gotta say Paul said a mouth full with this one.
So my mind naturally begins firing off a series of hmmās:
How can you have faith?
Itās not something that you can see?
Itās not something that can be purchased
Itās not an oil that can be rubbed on your head whenever you need to apply it
Itās not something you can mimic
It canāt be imitated
So where does that leave me?
What exactly is this thing called Faith???
Letās check it outā¦.SCRIPTURE TIME š„š
