1 Corinthians 15; Hebrews 11

Thank you, Father, that you have given me victory over sin and death, through my Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, I am steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. I know that my labor is not in vain.

My faith is in your gospel, Father. All your words are true. You, through Christ, are the substance of all I hope for, and your presence in me is the evidence of the truth of your unseen presence and power and promise.

You framed the worlds by your word. You made things that are seen from things that are invisible. My faith is a gift from you, and it pleases you to see me believe. This is my good testimony to you: I believe that you are God, and I know that you reward all those who diligently seek you.

By faith, I obey you, even though I don’t always know where we are going, but I press on knowing I am headed for a city whose builder and maker is you, my loving, sovereign, Heavenly Father.
