has the same thing as below in the expanded version with music and art masterpieces to enjoy as well. I found two versions of My Faith Looks Up to Thee, one by Mahalia Jackson with her rich contralto, and another by Argo, where a singer reads the words of Hebrews on Faith. :)


Prayer: Almighty God, Open my eyes that I might see. Open my mind that I might understand. Open my heart that I might make your words a part of me. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight.


Scripture: Psalm 122; Genesis 6:1-10; Hebrews 11:1-7 (King James Version)


Single passage: Hebrews 11:1-7 King James Version (KJV)

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 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.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

OBSERVE:

Take a moment and write down three observations of the verses. What strikes you? An observation is an observable fact from the Word.
1.

2.

3.
INTERPRETATION:

What do you interpret these verses to mean for you today?




APPLY

Today, I learned _____________________________________and apply it to my life.


PRAYER: Dear God, by faith we believe in you and you count it as good and call us your own. We look forward to meeting you in person. Equip us with the faith that we lack and help us to be prepared for your coming. In Jesus name. Amen.

    1. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

    2. Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for God rewards those who seek Him.

    3. Noah built the Ark by faith, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen

    We need to have faith in God even though we don't see Him.


    APPLY

    Today, I learned _I need to have faith in God to get through the obstacles in life even if I don't see a way__and apply it to my life.


    PRAYER: Dear God, by faith we believe in you and you count it as good and call us your own. We look forward to meeting you in person. Equip us with the faith that we lack and help us to be prepared for your coming. In Jesus name. Amen.
