Corinthians 5:7 Amplified Translation
7 For
we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction
or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust
and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.[2]
Quote Of The Day:
Smith Wigglesworth
“All lack of
faith is due to not feeding on God’s Word.
You need it everyday. How can
you enter into a life of faith? Feed on
the living Christ on whom His word is full.
As you get taken up with the glorious fact and the wonderous presence of
the living Christ, the faith of God will spring up within you.”
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
Hebrews 11:17-40 “G-ds Hall of Faith”
17 By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test [while the testing of
his faith was still in progress], had already brought Isaac for an offering; he
who had gladly received and welcomed [God’s] promises was ready to
sacrifice his only son, [Gen. 22:1–10].
18 Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall
your descendants be reckoned. [Gen. 21:12].
19 For he reasoned that God was able to raise
[him] up even from among the dead. Indeed in the sense that Isaac was
figuratively dead [potentially sacrificed], he did [actually] receive him back
from the dead.
20 [With eyes of]
faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob
and Esau. [Gen. 27:27–29, 39, 40].
21 [Prompted] by faith
Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and bowed in
prayer over the top of his staff. [Gen. 48].
22 [Actuated] by faith
Joseph, when nearing the end of his life, referred to [the promise of
God for] the departure of the Israelites out of Egypt and gave instructions
concerning the burial of his own bones. [Gen. 50:24, 25; Exod. 13:19].
23 [Prompted] by faith
Moses, after his birth, was kept concealed for three months by his
parents, because they saw how comely the child was; and they were not overawed and
terrified by the king’s decree. [Exod. 1:22; 2:2].
24 [Aroused] by faith
Moses, when he had grown to maturity and become great, refused to
be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, [Exod. 2:10, 15].
25 Because he preferred to share the oppression
[suffer the hardships] and bear the shame of the people of God rather
than to have the fleeting enjoyment of a sinful life.
26 He considered the contempt and abuse and
shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth
than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the
reward (recompense).
27 [Motivated] by
faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by
the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his
purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is
invisible. [Exod. 2:15].
28 By faith (simple
trust and confidence in God) he instituted and carried out the Passover
and the sprinkling of the blood [on the doorposts], so that the destroyer of
the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those [of the children of Israel].
[Exod. 12:21–30].
29 [Urged on] by faith
the people crossed the Red Sea as [though] on dry land, but when the Egyptians
tried to do the same thing they were swallowed up [by the sea]. [Exod.
14:21–31].
30 Because of faith
the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed for seven days
[by the Israelites]. [Josh. 6:12–21].
31 [Prompted] by faith
Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to
believe and obey, because she had received the spies in peace [without
enmity]. [Josh. 2:1–21; 6:22–25].
32 And what shall I say further? For time would
fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the
prophets, [Judg. 4–5; 6:1–8, 35; 11:1–12, 15; 13–16; I Sam. 1–30; II Sam. 1–24;
I Kings 1–2; Acts 3:24].
33 Who by [the help of] faith subdued kingdoms,
administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions,
[Dan. 6].
34 Extinguished the power of raging fire,
escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won
strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in
battle, routing alien hosts. [Dan. 3].
35 [Some] women received again their dead by a
resurrection. Others were tortured to death with clubs, refusing to accept
release [offered on the terms of denying their faith], so that they might be
resurrected to a better life. [I Kings
17:17–24; II Kings 4:25–37].
36 Others had to suffer the trial of mocking
and scourging and even chains and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned to death; they were lured
with tempting offers [to renounce their faith]; they were sawn asunder; they
were slaughtered by the sword; [while they were alive] they had to go about
wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly
treated—
38 [Men] of whom the world was not
worthy—roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and [living] in
caves and caverns and holes of the earth.
39 And all of these, though they won divine
approval by [means of] their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was
promised,
40 Because God had us in mind and had
something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes
and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we
could join them].[3]
HaShem may we walk in faith also as those who
went before us so that we will walk fully pleasing you in everything we say and
do. May we be found worthy to be
included with those above who kept their eyes on you and who followed your Holy
Torah/Word.
May we follow in the Footsteps of our Messiah
Yeshua who commanded us to walk by faith and to put our whole trust and
confidence in your Torah/Word.
Mark 11:22-24
22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have
faith in God [constantly].
23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this
mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in
his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for
him.
24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever
you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to
you, and you will [get it].[4]
May these be our words:
2Ti 4:7 I have
fought a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith:
