Hebrews 11:1/3 ESV Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
It’s remarkable that when our eye sees an image, initially it’s perceived as upside down until the brain makes it so we can see it the right way up! Scientists also know there are things that are very real that we can’t see with the naked eye, but they are there!As I was thinking about that I realised it’s what scripture has been telling us all along, that there are things in the unseen realm that are more real than the things we can see, feel, taste and touch. In other words our five senses only perceive a limited amount of information.😊 Some people say, “Seeing is believing” but actually there is far more than what we can see!
God has given us everything we need in Jesus but we have to call things into our world by faith, before we see them with our physical eyes. Faith is the substance of things ‘not seen’ and that’s why God says the godly live by faith and not by sight, and we don’t want to miss out on all He has for us!😊
Just as the eye sees things upside down and it has to be rearranged, so it is in our personal world where our lives can sometimes seem to be upside down. God is saying to see things from His perspective not our limited understanding and to call for those things to come right side up,
I hope that makes sense or that I have at least provoked our thinking, and that the Lord gives us deeper revelation of what is truly ‘real’ and available to us because He wants us to have it all.😊
‘See’ ourselves well, ‘see’ ourselves provided for with more than enough, with whatever we need, because it’s in the unseen realm waiting for us to take it by faith and have it in our now world. Amen.
Have a blessed weekend.x
