Faith guarantees blessings

"Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for, or prove the existence of realities that are unseen." (Hebrews 11:1)

What are the blessings I hope for today?

• To know Christ, love him and serve him
  
• Greater faith, patience, wisdom, humility
  
• Total success of the Enterprise
  

Only faith can guarantee these blessings. But how? Do I believe that I can have these blessings? Yes, I do. I am therefore blessed by my faith. What I now do is to wait patiently for the realization of my hope. I wait in joyful hope.

"It was by faith that Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac." (Hebrews 11: 17)

"Abraham was confident that God had the power even to raise the dead." (Hebrews 11: 19)
