Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. – Hebrews 11:1
A sober reading of Jeremiah 10 reminds us that idols promise much but offer nothing, a truth echoed in my earlier reflection “Faith is Certain of What We Do Not See.” Yet the people of Jeremiah’s time still preferred these empty substitutes over the One True God, turning their hearts toward what could never save or sustain them. The call for us is to open our eyes and recognize God’s work already unfolding around us—the earth He created with majesty, the wisdom with which He founded the world, the order, beauty, and power woven into creation itself. As we behold His handiwork, our faith is strengthened, our trust deepened, and our steps steadied. Therefore, let us journey ahead building momentum for life right now by worshiping the God who is real, present, and faithful, allowing that momentum to carry us forward into eternity with confidence and hope.
Here is a good worship song to start this momentum today. Healing Rain by Michael W. Smith.
A heart weighed down by addiction, wandering, or shame may feel unworthy of hope, yet heaven’s mercy is never withheld. Even the alcoholic, the drug‑tangled soul, or the drifter with nowhere left to run can lift their face to the sky and be met by healing rain—a downpour of grace that washes away the past. In that sacred cleansing, tears of regret become tears of renewal, because every life can be made new when it is washed in Jesus’ name, where shame is broken, identity is restored, and a fresh beautiful beginning starts.
Mark Shields, Thanks for reading! This blog started from a small Bible Study group several years ago with just a few followers and now has grown beyond what I would have imagined. I’ve found it to be a great tool in my journey through the Bible and you, my readers are holding me accountable to daily Bible reading and study.Mark’s Website: thisdaywithgod.wordpress.com
