DEVOTIONAL

LIVING BY FAITH



What does it mean to live by faith? At the Galilee Bible camp in July, our Adult class looked at this question. It was awesome to read the descriptions of God in chapter 1 of Hebrews. He “sustains all things by His powerful word” (Hebrews 1:3a). His “throne lasts forever” (Hebrews 1:8 excerpt). He “laid the foundations of the earth” (Hebrews 1:10), and one day He will “roll the heavens up like a robe---but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.” (Hebrews 1:12).



Along with this awesome description of God, we were reminded that He cares about each of us as His special child. In Hebrews 10: 22, we are invited to “draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings--”.



Faith is God’s gift to us in salvation. This thought was a blessed reminder to me--The God that sustains the universe will also sustain my life and faith.
