Devotional by Christian Wilgus, 2019 graduate of Tower of Hope Academy

Hebrews 11:17 begins with the phrase “it was by faith” and then it lists what each individual did to get to the next level.

Faith is the secret to the next level. Faith in God precedes action. In the same way that Abraham was ready to sacrifice his only son, we must act in faith to receive what we want from God. Even when we don’t feel like it.

For example, if you’ve been passive, it’ll take faith to speak up for yourself for the first time. It’s by faith that you don’t gossip, but choose to hold your tongue. It will be by faith that you choose to walk out your healing instead of yielding to fear. 

In what area in your life will it take faith for you to turn over a new leaf?

Your faith is the key to the next level.
