Today’s Meditation Verse:

Hebrews 11:1 KJ

I Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

This verse is the definition of faith! What is faith? Well if you will picture this with me…

You want to build a patio so you get some boards and you begin to build a form with those boards the size of the patio you want to build. You could say that the form is the hope of a patio.

Then you get your concrete and it begins to pour into the form and takes the shape of the form. The concrete is the substance of the patio.

You could take that little analogy and read it into the verse this way:

Now concrete is the substance of the patio hoped for, and the evidence of the patio before it was seen.

What is it today that you hope for? Begin to see what it is and what it will be. That is hope. Then as you walk with God allow Him to ‘fill-in’ your form of hope until you have what you were seeing as you hoped!

Each Monday I am going to be having ‘Monday Meditations’. I hope to bring to you each Monday a verse to mediate on for the week. This is not for memorization, but to think about and to dwell on. The word meditate, in the bible, means to mutter. So this week as you go about your life, think about and mutter to yourself the verse for the week and think about how it applies to your life. Meditating on a verse will bind it to your spirit and it will become part of you! The more of the Word you meditate on, the more it will transform you into the image of Christ!
