Seeing by Faith

Pastor Rajat Kumar Pani, Uppahar, India

BY faith he (Moses) left Egypt, not fearing the King’s anger; he endured because he saw him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:27

In the 11th chapter of the letter to the Hebrews, we find a number of Old Testament characters who are presented to us as examples of faith. 

What will be said about us and our faith once we have left this transitory world and passed into eternity? Will there be anything worth mentioning about our faith and our relationship with God? Or do we just end up, like so many, with countless regrets: “Oh, if only I had...!”

These examples of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11 accomplished the impossible with God. Because they recognized that it is not about them, but about obedience to do God’s will when HE calls.

Moses clung to the one he did not see as if he saw him! That is exactly what faith is. Recognizing that it is not the visible that is the real world, but the invisible, THE INVISIBLE - and yet omnipresent.

Let us be inspired by Moses and the many others who have gone before us. That we do not simply live our lives according to our lusts and pleasures. But that we strive daily to please HIM. A life that is connected to Christ like the branch to the vine. To bear much fruit. Lord grant grace for this.
