We have figured out how to build houses, and cities, and clients, and bank accounts.  

We have figured out how to build wealth, and security, and a perfect health plan.  

We have figured out how to vacation, and how to relax, and how have everything we could ever want.

But we haven’t figured out how to have faith.

As Hebrews 11 says, “Faith is being sure of what hope for … and certain of what we do not see”.

I have always found that verse compelling — because in our societal mask that says:  “we don’t need anything” I see so many that don’t even know what to hope for … Not only do they not have hope, they don’t know what to even hope for.

I want to hope for the same thing that Abraham did:

Hebrews 11 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

I want to hope for Jesus and the city He has built.

The city I live in is desperate His ruling.

It is desperate for His hand.

It is desperate for Him.

He … is our only hope.

As we pray the Lord’s prayer, it is easy to be compelled to speak it out of habit and not what we really need.

Thy Kingdom Come.

Thy Will Be Done.

On Earth As It Is In Heaven.

How can we have anything without Him?

We all know the answer.

“Jesus, help me to fix my eyes on the “city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.”

Help me to remember that the kingdom I try to build is worthless, and without hope.  

Put a faith in me that will allow You to have the most important aspect of my city … You.

And let Your Spirit dwell in me and change me.  Forever.”

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
