Fortune Cookie Faith - One Week Later

A week ago, I shared with everyone about the lessons I learned from Hebrews 11:1. Among the thoughts I shared was a translation of the first phrase, "Now we know that faith is the substance of things hoped for". In contemporary context, it might read like this:

Faith is the confident trust in God that provides the bedrock upon which our hopes are founded.

I also shared with you about the difference between a hope (a desire with an expectation that it will come to pass) and a wish (a desire that is deemed unattainable), and how those might look in the context of our faith journey.

One week later, how has this played out in your spiritual journey? Do you view faith in a different way than you did a week earlier. Did it clarify? Did it confuse?

Share.
