Devotion: Great Things Happen When You Believe


Great things happen when you believe.  But for great things to happen, you need faith.  Faith is an interesting word, that has been defined in many ways.  Understanding faith is important to making it work for you.  So, what exactly is faith?

According to Hebrews 11:1,

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (KJV).

Faith is the evidence of a thing hoped for, the evidence that the thing exists but it is not the thing itself.  Faith is the substance or tangibility of hope.  While hope cannot change circumstances, it can change attitudes about circumstances and how things are perceived or seen.  Hope is the goal setter and faith be the way to achieve the goal.  Faith is one of the most powerful things that God has given man, “as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3).  When used to its full measure, faith can cause great things to happen.
