SAFE!!

Faith is the confident boasting of the actual existence of truth founded on the rock foundation of truth {the person of God} of things hoped for {the patient waiting of things we have seen coming but are not here yet.} It is the evidence—the proof and conviction given by the light of the scriptures {it is to convince unbelief of its error in the court of truth} of things not seen {as yet in time but must surly come to pass—must be manifested for all to see.} —Hebrews 11:1 (Jeb’s Amplified)

When God speaks to us, his words are words of proof: “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times” (Psalms 12:6). Since they are eternal words they will always stand up to the test of time. No matter how hopeless things may seem, what God has said must surly come to pass.

Faith is the evidence of things not seen as it pertains to us. However, from God’s perspective it is clearly seen as already done in eternity. That is why when we read the book of Revelation it reads like history when it is actually future. For example, the seals were opened, the servants were sealed, and the devil was cast into the Lake of Fire. How do we know these things? By faith which comes from the Word of God which tells in Revelation 4:1 of “things which must be hereafter.” Isn’t that what faith is, the evidence of things not seen as yet?

Let’s examine Abraham’s calling a little closer in the light of the Word of God that we might have the eyes of our understanding enlightened, that we know the hope of God’s calling on our lives. The Lord of Truth is the Faithful Umpire: He calls it like he sees it and he is always right! He called Abraham a father of many nations from eternity before he was the father of Isaac in time: “I have made thee a father of many nations.” As I have said before, God could say this because in eternity this is what God was seeing:"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands” (Revelation 7:9). All of these were from the loins of Abraham—spiritually and physically speaking thus fulfilling Genesis 15:5: “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.”

What has God called you? It may look like you are going to be “thrown out” by a mile at home plate by the “left fielder,” but if God the Faithful Umpire of Truth has called you safe, then you are safe. It may look like you are going to be overcame but I have it on good authority that He has called you an over comer. You may have been called barren but Jesus calls you fruitful. You may have been called cursed but your Heavenly Father calls you blessed!

Here comes the throw….Safe!!!!!

How could you be anything but safe? If anybody has ever been out in left field, it’s the devil!!
