Commentary from Pastor Michael White:

The phrase “by faith” occurs eighteen times in Hebrews 11. This is incredibly important, because the author is describing the greatest miracles ever known to man. He’s describing Abraham’s preparation to receive a child from God, despite the fact that all the odds were stacked against him and his wife, Sarah. He’s describing how God worked through Moses to part the Red Sea so the Israelites could escape from Egypt. The lesson is this: if we want to see miraculous things happen in our own lives, we have to cultivate our faith. Without faith, the Bible is just a collection of stories; but with faith, it is a template for our new everyday reality in Christ.

Prayer:

Father, give me supernatural faith! I want to see the many ways in which You are working around me all the time. Give me great faith to see the unseen, and to accomplish the impossible in Jesus’ name!
