Live by Faith
As only one out of the billions of people on Earth today, we might feel small and unimportant. Of the countless injustices people face daily, we might feel overwhelmed and ill-equipped to help. But we can return to the accounts of the heroes of the faith enumerated in Hebrews 11 as an encouragement that each person’s act of faith matters to God’s great story.
None of these examples resembled a fairy tale. Each person faced the impossible and suffered in often unthinkable ways. In some cases, they never saw the fruit of their actions—but, motivated by a love that flows directly from God, they acted anyway.
By faith, they walked humbly. By faith, they persisted. By faith, they gained strength. By faith, they endured. By faith, they resisted evil. By faith, they escaped peril. By faith, they brought down walls. By faith, they defeated wickedness. By faith, they freed the oppressed.
God remained faithful and victorious.
As Christians, we follow in the inspiring footsteps of our faith ancestors. Even when we can’t understand the details, we trust God’s promises to always be with us and to one day make all things right again. We assume the responsibility to love God and one another—one step at a time.
When we witness the suffering of a neighbor, we hurt right along with them. When we hear unkind words spoken toward someone, we speak up. When we see someone treated unfairly, we stand with them. We seek justice in the world around us—we pay attention, we sacrifice, and we advocate.
By faith.
Application:
Consider how you can put your faith into action on behalf of the oppressed:
·Ask God to open your eyes to a need in your hometown.
·How can you show "welcome" to the outcast?
·What organization can you come alongside in their work to make things right?

We’ve heard it said that we can have confidence that God will work all things for our good and God’s glory. But how does our faith impact others? In this three-day devotional, we will explore stories of our faith ancestors who trusted what God asked of them, even when it didn’t make sense, and see how their faithful steps played important roles in unlocking God’s promises to humanity.
