Verse of the Day

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1 NLT I have never read this verse in the New Living Translation before, but wow! I know there arent large differences between the translations and that they all say the same thing, but having confidence that what we hope for will actually happen. This translation just makes me see it in a whole new light. Our faith and trust is what gives us assurance and confidence of things we cannot see. Do I have confidence that what I hope for will actually happen? There are times I dont. That tells me I need to work on where my hope and trust lye. I need to daily lay my hope and trust in myself at the cross and pick up put my hope and trust in Christ. No wonder why my confidence that what I hope for will actually happen has been lacking.
