"For this reason, it depends on faith, so that it may be a gift, and the promise may be guaranteed to all his descendants, not to those who only adhere to the law but to those who follow the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us," Romans 4:16
The faith of Abraham, he was given what appeared to be impossible tasks and events, (evidence of things not seen), his actions defied the impossible and his belief spoke of who God is, (the substance of things hoped for). God's promises are real, His words are truth.. "Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. John 6:53 Have you received the gift of faith to believe the substance of the bread and wine is transformed into the body and blood of Jesus? Maybe you believe this to be a symbolic gesture, so something to thing about, if this is symbolic than Jesus would of have to symbolically been raised from the dead. He physically raised from the dead, did Thomas not place his hands in His side. Abraham, the father of faith, believed what appeared to be impossible, why not you? For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink." John 6:55

Lord God, there are times in my life my faith is weak, I am like Thomas where I need to see to believe. Increase Your gift of faith in me, may I believe as Abraham did and take You at Your word. Use me Lord in what ever way You need today, there are many who have fallen to the lies of the world, May they too come to believe in the Risen Lord and receive the gift of faith. I ask this in Your Holy Name, Amen.
