We are living in a time today that we might only understand in retrospect in a future time.
Perspective is often linked to time. God asks us to trust Him with today and believe the invisible about tomorrow. The Bible asks us to live today in light of tomorrow.
This is the great lesson of Hebrews 11 and the “Heroes of the Faith.” They were looking for a city, a country, and a kingdom. They never found it, and they all died (except for Enoch.) They are presented to us as heroes of faith because--- Faith means believing in the invisible. They did and so should we.
But we must also understand that Faith does not mean everything will turn out okay, but that we are okay no matter how things turn out.
To hold that perspective requires maturity that comes from a dynamic relationship with the Lord over time by which we have experienced fellowship with Him which allows us to trust Him.
And so, I find that “Faith means believing in advance that which only makes sense in reverse.”
However, as Helmut Thielicke reminds us from the time he pastored his church in Nazi Germany; “If we can trust Him with the last hour then we can trust Him with the next minute.”
Enough said. Serving Him with you Until He comes for us. Fred |
