By faith...

           Hebrews 11

(This phrase is repeated
          18 times
   in a single chapter.
It's not about superheroes,
but ordinary people like us
       how to live this life,
not focused
    on a particular answer
    of our own choosing,
but faith in God
  and abiding in Him,
no matter the circumstances,
no matter the outcome,
       but for His glory in this.
God is able to do far more
    than we can ever imagine.
That is what faith is:
     knowing God is in this.)

O LORD,
You know.
You see.
You are already redeeming,
   even of what we are not aware.
In You,
    mystery is not a place of despair,
    but a call to "come deeper in Me."
Even right where we are,
even in what is still invisible to us,
not just to have faith,
       but to be faithful to You.
You never work
    in singular outcomes.
By faith....
  show us how
           to know You more.
