Day 4- Hebrews 11:3


Monday was quite the day for me! Between work, house chores, my PEO meeting, trying to prepare for Tuesday's baking a cake for a sweet family- cooking dinner for a friend, and trying to be there for a another friend- my head was spinning by the end of the day! When I finally did get home, Brandon was waiting with Shooter outside with a bucket of sidewalk chalk. It was nearly 9 o'clock and there were not many neighbors out but it was a great way to wrap up my busy day. We choose Hebrews 11:3 as the verse for Day 4 and it is a great verse!  Hope you enjoy the commentary verse and commentary I found.

Hebrews 11:3

New International Version (NIV)

 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Wesley's Notes on Hebrews 11:3
11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds - Heaven and earth and all things in them, visible and invisible. Where made - Formed, fashioned, and finished. By the word - The sole command of God, without any instrument or preceding matter. And as creation is the foundation and specimen of the whole divine economy, so faith in the creation is the foundation and specimen of all faith. So that things which are seen - As the sun, earth, stars. Were made of things which do not appear - Out of the dark, unapparent chaos, Gen 1:2. And this very chaos was created by the divine power; for before it was thus created it had no existence in nature.
