Hebrews 11:2 (KJV) For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Hebrews 11:3 (KJV) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
We are about to look at some of those who by their FAITH obtained a good report. Before the flood and after. These we are about to look at lived different types of lives. Men and women alike had great faith in the God they could not see with their natural eye. But they moved and followed and because they did we know about them to this day. But let us not forget they were just as you and I. At times their feelings of being victorious over what looked to be impossible. I’m sure it placed doubt in their minds. But that is when they trusted in the God that loved them and moved forward with great faith. I’m sure you have heard of a man named Daniel who spent the night with some lions. Oh, that was never his intention and he didn’t do that to prove that he had great faith in God. Oh no this was his punishment by mankind because of his great faith in his God. Well how did that turn out? He had a good night's sleep with lions. Oh you might say that those lions were not hungry. No, God protected Daniel because of his faith. Why do I say that? Because the Bible makes it clear. Daniel was taken out and those men who had worked up a plan to get Daniel in the lion's den. Well they were placed in the lion’s den themselves. Before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions attacked them and crushed all their bones. It’s all written for us to read about in the book of Daniel chapter 6. It takes FAITH as we look out each morning and ask ourselves where did that great light the sun come from? It never misses a morning. It's coming up and it’s going down and then we see another light that guides us through the night. Where did this all come from? Our God! Genesis 1:16 (KJV) And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. Or maybe this is what you have your faith in. The Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system. It’s about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth and it’s our solar system’s only star. Without the Sun’s energy, life as we know it could not exist on our home planet. All that is true but where did it come from? I think I will just put my faith in what God has told us about all that. It’s much easier than to think it decided to appear just the right distance from our home planet the earth. Isn’t wonderful how all this appeared and the best part is no one made it. I wonder what you and I will find today that no one made??? Did you hear about the new factory in Detroit? The one that just appeared overnight with new cars being made. It was the strangest thing: a new factory, new automobiles and no workers. It just all appeared. Check it out for yourselves in the Detroit Metro News just as it appeared on February 30, 2024.
