"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for"
"And certain of what we do not see" any more
"This is what the ancients were commended for"
For the Old Testament is fact, not lore
We read of Abel's faith and sacrifice
Noah built an ark; others paid the price
Abraham obeyed and to a new land he went
His kin received an inheritance that cannot be spent
We also read as we turn the page
That Abraham became a father at a ripe old age
"All these people were still living by faith when they died"
"They did not receive the things promised" but God had not lied
For "they admitted that they were aliens...on this earth"
And they knew God's promises had eternal worth
"They were longing for a better country - a heavenly one"
And God was waiting when their lives were done
Great men of faith were all of these
Their faith and actions did God please
But I also know from Jesus that all I need
Is faith the size of a small mustard seed
So simple this does sound
Such faith should easily be found
But then why do I have such a hard time
Finishing up this devotional rhyme
Incomplete faith it must reflect
When my heart God does inspect
So God, as I kneel and pray
Please help grow my faith every day
