DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE ??? PIE?

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE ??? PIE? 

(Hebrews 11:1) says: "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld."

Take pie. I have a favorite pie, and when I walk into the room, and SMELL that aroma, I think..... "There's a PIE cooking!!" Now, I look around the kitchen and I see apple peelings, bits of crust dough lying around, flour on the counter...I KNOW there's pie, and what KIND of pie it is. 

?????

I've never seen it, but I know it's there. Then, there's a NOTE which says 'I know by now you've smelled the pie, and Yes, you may have some as soon as the timer rings.' Now I KNOW that the pie is there, it's cooking, it's apple and it's for me, and I know all this without having ever SEEN the pie . 

?????

The evidence of it's existence is all around me. And I KNOW I'll be eating pie soon. The same is true of faith. We have never seen Jehovah, but we've seen the EVIDENCE of Him in the natural world, in his people, in the accomplishments of his organization, in prayers being answered, prophesies being fulfilled, and more promised.

We KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's real and working for our good. Then there's 'the NOTE': the Bible, that puts into words the assurance of His love for us, and the promise of better things. We've never physically SEEN him or our future paradise, but we KNOW, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are REAL, because of the enormous amount evidence all around us. We KNOW it. Now we just have to wait for the 'timer to ring'. ? - Bible Speaks
