Turning Point Devotional for Today (January 13, 2025) – Proof of Hope

TEXT: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1

Recommended Reading: Romans 8:24.

If anyone questions whether you are the true owner of your house, one document erases all doubt: the title deed. Likewise, faith is the title deed of our hope. If someone has hope, it is because they have faith that God is working things out—faith is “the evidence of things not seen.” When someone says they have “lost all hope,” it means they have lost their faith, their assurance.

As Romans 8:24 says, “Hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?” That is, if we can see the future or see what we desire, we have no need for hope.

And nothing happens when we exercise hope; we still do not suddenly see what we are hoping for. Instead, we maintain constant faith in God that He is working things out.

The theme of Hebrews 11 is that the people cited were hoping for what they could not see. And they often died in faith, never having seen the thing they were hoping for (verse 13).

If you have hope, you have faith. Faith is the proof that your hope is alive and well.

Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. – William Gurnall.
