—Hebrews 11:13-19
by: Jerry Johnson.
There is an expression that "hindsight is 20/20." This applies spiritually to the extent that Old Testament saints could only look forward to receiving the promises God gave to them without the benefit of objective historical evidence to validate their faith. We have the completed Word of God, the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, and secular documentation that affirms our trust in Christ. Why then do we struggle with faith in small areas of life? Abraham's trust in God was so complete that he believed God would raise his son Isaac from the dead. His account provides an inspiring example to emulate.
