Hebrews 11, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #185: DANIEL FAST (2) & KITCHEN CLEANING

PASSAGE: By Faith

MEMORY VERSE: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

NOTES: (v.1) "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for."
(v.3) "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."
(v.6) "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earneslty seek him."
(v.11) "By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise."
(v.13-16) "All these people were still living by faith when they died...and they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth...Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them."
(v.24) "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward."
(v.39) "these were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."

ACT OF LOVE: Today, I cleaned up the kitchen area when I was at home because it got reallyy messy ever since my mom left for China. I never really appreciate how much she does for my family until she's not here!
ALSO, it is day 2 of the Daniel Fast! I accidentally ate some dumplings that had a bit of pork in it =(((( But other than that, I basically had trailmix all day. Good stuff.
