Simple Faith

When I read today's reading (Hebrews 11:1-12) what struck me was verse 3.

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

There is just no gettting around the fact that we live in a place that God has spoken into existence. No matter what I do, I am only able to do it because God has given me the abilitity to do it. No matter what I have God has provided it for me. But it's only by faith that we can even understand that fact. Faith is so simple and yet so difficult because in order for my faith to be real I have to take ME out of the equation. Faith has nothing to do with me and everything to do with God.

God, may our faith become more real today so that we can understand you in a bigger way.
