Hebrews 11:33-34
33 By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.

When I read this chapter of Hebrews over and over, it always encourages me to continue living by faith! If I go through troubles as they did; even troubles that are nothing compared to what they went through, there's no reason why I cannot "overthrow kingdoms" or receive what God had promised because I can have the same faith as they did. I believe that my weaknesses will be turned to strengths and I can be strong in battles! By faith, I am able to surpass anything that may seem to be hard! I can do it!

When times get rough, I must be tough by FAITH! That's the only way I can move on without any hindrance. My faith will boost me up, strengthen me, encourage me, move mountains, "shut lions", etc. I will have faith always... believing in FAITH!

Lord, I believe! I have faith and I will put it into action! Help me not to forget that this is my "weapon" against all unbelief and doubts! Boost me up Lord and guide me always! In Jesus name, Amen!
