The Currency of Faith

[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [2] For by it the elders obtained a good report. [3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. [4] By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. [5] By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. [6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Devotional
Faith is the currency of God's kingdom. Without it, it's impossible to please God. How strong is your faith today? Are you living by faith or by sight? Consider the heroes of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11. What can you learn from their examples? Faith often requires stepping into the unknown, trusting God's promises even when we can't see the outcome. What "faith step" is God calling you to take? Today, pray for increased faith and the courage to act on it.
