“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Heb 11:3).
“Through faith we understand.” If you have no faith, you have no proper understanding. Without faith, all your understanding of spiritual matters is but misunderstanding. A person can, with his natural brain, understand the natural things of this natural world. But to understand things of the other world, one needs a supernatural brain called ‘faith’ which is activated by the Holy Spirit (I Cor 2:11,12). Human understanding is limited, as the human brain is limited. Once faith comes into our heart, our understanding becomes unlimited – like an ocean. However, when faith is gone, spiritual understanding is dead.
The Word of God which framed the worlds is framing us also. The Word of God is called the word of faith (Rom 10:8) – which has creative power. The word “frame” in Greek means “to make thoroughly fit.” In other words, faith in God’s Word makes a man thoroughly fit physically, spiritually, emotionally etc. “His name through faith in His name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by Him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all” (Acts 3:16).
How can a man believe that God can meet his spiritual needs, if he cannot trust in God for his material needs like health, healing, finance etc?

Therefore, let's believe in god, putting our faith upon him, so that we can, be still and know he is our god.
BE STILL AND KNOW I AM THE LORD - DON MOEN
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
CHORUS:
When the oceans rise
And the thunders roar
I Will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
And I will be still
And know You are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
Be still and know
That I am God
I am the God
That healeth thee
