Hebrews 11:3

Hebrews 11:3.  "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 were visible."

Have you ever read Hebrews 11?  If it has been a while, read it for encouragement.  I realized last night why I love the old testament.  It is based on faith.  Faith is defined in the beginning of Hebrews 11.  "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."  Jesus remarked on faith may times, to the centurion he said that he had not seen such faith in all of Israel, but to his own disciples he made a remark "oh you of little faith".  Faith is the cornerstone of understanding God's wisdom and power.  Jesus said in Matthew 17:20   "...for truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

"Nothing will be impossible for you."  Nothing.  For me, cancer is not impossible and I do not fear it as being impossible, but the fact is... it is a mountain. To pray for healing is not just wishful thinking.  God created the universe out of what was not seen and in this very fact, we know that we do not have to see something to know it exists. 

Thank you Lord for healing me.
