Faith

Jul 30th, 2008 by Andrea in Scripture

Faith that is commended-

Sure faith

Hope unseen

A universe commanded

A better sacrifice

Faith that speaks beyond death-

Pleased God and taken away

Unreceived promises

Faith that pleases God and rewards those who seek Him-

Holy fear that yields an ark

Families saved

World condemned

Faith that builds future cities-

Inherited place

Promised land for a stranger

Wandering desert

Faith that longs for a better way-

Barren, yet childbearing

Descendents like stars

Aliens in foreign lands

Baby hidden in the water

Prostitutes redeemed

Faith that is tested-

Sacrificed child

Promised offspring

Mistreated people

Faith that conquers kingdoms-

Walls fallen

Seas divided

Spies welcomed

Faith that is fearless-

Lions mouths closed

Flames quenched

Prisoners jeered, flogged and chained

Faith that brings a better resurrection-

Exodus

Weakness becoming strength

Disgrace greater than treasures

Faith that makes perfect

*Hebrews 11
