When God says to you and I "Believe" He is demanding something that is totally beyond reason. The definition of faith has to do with something unreasonable and illogical. In Hebrews it says that, "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Does sound a bit far fetched. Yet if you were to continue reading the rest of Hebrews Chapter 11 you would see a entire host of Biblical giants who believed, had hope and because of that hope and belief, the stories they tell us about God's moving in their lives is a powerful one! If Faith's demands are stretching you right now, and I know many of you are wondering how much further you can be stretched, I encourage you to read this Chapter and then move on into chapter 12 as there Paul gives to us a little Pep Talk about what is possible for you and I to accomplish because of the Great Cloud of Believer's who have came before us. Both those in the Bible and those in your own personal lives. Someday, because of the demands of Faith and your perseverance, you can and will be a part someone else's Great Cloud of Witnesses.
Love ya" Pastor Rick
