Today's Favorite Verse: Hebrews 11:6, 13
"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.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."
So many stories of faith are listed in this chapter. I pondered on how each of us have our own stories too. Faith requires us to believe without seeing, what is to come. I have my own example of required faith tonight. This was such a great chapter to read.
“Faith precedes the miracle. It has ever been so and shall ever be. It was not raining when Noah was commanded to build an ark. There was no visible ram in the thicket when Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Two heavenly personages were not yet seen when Joseph knelt and prayed. First came the test of faith—and then the miracle”
(Thomas S. Monson, “The Call to Serve,” Oct 2000 General Conference).
