"Faith is assurance of things hoped for,
proof of things not seen." Heb 11:1
Even people like Sarah herself
because she counted him faithful Who had promised.
Even people like Abel, taken from this world,
His faith still speaks loudly.
We write and speak and talk conclusory.
People in motion tend to stay in motion.
Unless an equal or opposite force intercepts, interjects.
The Bible is history, prose.
It gives reasons why the conclusory statements are made.
Sarah believed,
Abel believed,
you believe,
I believe,
because we add it all up and count The One
as faithful no matter the barren circumstances.
We are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.
Let us lay aside every weight and sin which so easily besets us.
So can we lay aside what bothers, what weighs on us
because of all those witnesses who have gone before?
Let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith.
PHOTO: Ran a mile or so and found this little church and bent low in prayer and hope. Run patiently. Run better than the last mile. Race well.
