‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Reading our key verse, I want us to think about the assurance we have in God’s promises. According to the dictionary, assurance is a positive declaration intended to give confidence; a promise. We are blessed to have God’s word to tangibly hold and read. What about the unseen? Think about the commending faith of the Ancients in Hebrews 11. According to Merriam-Webster, assurance is the act or action of assuring someone or something: such as a pledge or guarantee. 

Action shows the confidence we have in our hope. Last month I shared on memorizing scripture verses and Deborah shared on relishing time by living in today. As I typed today’s message, HisRadio talked about how it isn’t always easy to recall scripture verses, yet a song can play that reminds us. HisRadio then played “Trust In God” by Elevation Worship. Some of the lyrics sing: “Perfect submission. All is at rest. I know the author of tomorrow has ordered my steps.”

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for being the Author of my tomorrow. May my faith be one that is confident in what I hope for and have assurance in what I do not see. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
