Moments With Marti
I love sharing what God has done in my life and the lessons that I have learned from each experience whether good or bad. There are many lessons that I have and am still learning. It's only been by His Grace that I can sit here today and without a doubt know that I am forever secure in His Love.
This blog is simply an avenue for me to share my heart felt thoughts from scripture as well as from my every day moments…My prayer is that there will be a small nugget of hope and encouragement that you can apply to your life as well.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
Hebrews 11 is the great “Faith” chapter…Beginning with the definition of faith and working its way through the lives of God’s people, this chapter shows us how their faith was exhibited.
We see Able giving a more excellent sacrifice than Cain; Enoch pleasing God and being translated that he should not see death; Noah acted on faith to something unseen and Abraham acting out his faith by obedience. These are just a few.
Then verse six tells us:
But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
And in verse sixteen we see this phrase: ….wherefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God….
What does that phrase say to you?
Has it ever occurred to you that God could or even would be ashamed to be called “your” God?
Does your life exhibit the kind of lifestyle that He would approve of?
"Is" God ashamed to be called “your” God?
