Welcome everyone to the 45th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am back with a dosage of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is FAITH to REST #truthbetold
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Just as our physical eyesight is the sense that gives us evidence of the material world, faith is the “sense” that gives us evidence of the invisible, spiritual world. Faith has its reasons. The Bible doesn’t recommend a “blind leap” of faith. But the reasons can’t be measured in a laboratory; they have to be understood spiritually. Faith extends beyond what we learn from our senses, and the author is saying that it has its reasons. Its tests are not those of the senses, which yield uncertainty. Physical eyesight produces a conviction or evidence of visible things; faith is the organ that enables people to see the invisible order.
Of things hoped for… of things not seen: If you have the substance before you or if you can see it, there is no use for faith. Faith is needed for what we can’t see and can’t touch. Faith does not contradict reason, though it may go beyond reason. One may objectively prove the Bible is the most unique book ever published and has impacted society more than any other book. But only faith can prove that the Bible is the Word of God. Therefore, this is a belief beyond reason but not in contradiction to reason or against reason. Faith is the substance… the evidence: Faith is not a bare belief or intellectual understanding. It is a willingness to trust in, to rely on, and to cling to.
Sarah’s faith was not perfect. She first laughed in unbelief (Genesis 18:9-15) and then she learned to laugh in faith (Genesis 21:6). Because she judged Him faithful who had promised: Faith comes down to judging that God is faithful and able to keep His promises.
Truly walking by faith produces something beautiful in us: Rest.
"Rest and trust in the Lord" means to relinquish control and anxieties, fully relying on God's plan and provision, finding peace and comfort in knowing that He is in charge, essentially letting go of worry and surrendering to His will; this concept is often referenced in the Bible, particularly in Psalm 37:7 which says, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him"
