DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE BY FAITH
JULY 31, 2025
TEXT: Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 6-8
KEY VERSE: “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house…” — Hebrews 11:7
Faith does not wait for proof—it acts on the unseen Word of God. Noah was asked to build an ark when there was no rain, no sea, and no precedent. Yet, by faith, he obeyed God’s voice, faced mockery, endured long delays, and saved his household. This is what it means to do the impossible by faith.
Noah’s story shows that faith hears God above all other voices. While the world mocked and doubted, Noah heard God clearly and believed Him fully. He didn’t delay. He moved with godly fear and built what had never been built before. Faith enables us to obey God even when His instructions defy human logic.
True faith is also willing to stand alone. Noah was the only righteous man in his generation, yet he didn’t waver. Today, we may find ourselves surrounded by compromise and unbelief. But faith empowers us to continue in obedience even if we are the only ones.
Doing the impossible by faith also means proclaiming truth, even when it’s unpopular. Noah preached judgment and mercy for 120 years. His message was rejected, but his obedience left the world without excuse.
In the end, faith brings a reward—not only for ourselves but also for those we cover in prayer, influence, and responsibility. Noah’s household was saved because of his obedience, and he became the heir of righteousness.
In Conclusion: Faith isn’t theory—it’s movement. It obeys even when it hurts, builds when nothing is visible, and endures when others mock. The God who calls us to impossible things also gives the grace to accomplish them—by faith.
SEARCH LIGHT: When God speaks, faith doesn’t ask “How?”—it says “Yes.” Faith dares to obey, works through ridicule, and builds what others say is impossible.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to move when You speak. Give me the strength to obey even when it seems foolish to others. Let my faith produce works that glorify You and bless those around me. Amen.
