The Biz Devo with Kenneth Ott

Action Always Follows Belief (Business Devo)


Listen Later

Explore the connection between vision-led hope and faithful action based on the biblical examples in Hebrews 11. Learn to tap into supernatural outcomes by understanding and applying God's embedded principles.


Scripture Reference:

Hebrews 11:1-12


Summary:

The opening verses of Hebrews 11 define faith as "confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Our faith is driven by the vision and hope we carry. When our hope dwindles, so does our faith. This passage gives examples of figures in the Bible who accomplished great things "by faith," demonstrating that faith leads to action. For instance, Noah built the ark according to God's warning, and Abraham left his home for the promised land though he did not know the destination. Faith can lead to outcomes that seem miraculous or impossible, like Sarah conceiving in old age after being barren. The episode suggests this occurs not because God intervenes, but because acting in faith allows people to tap into the principles God embedded into the fabric of the universe. Much like we leverage the principle of gravity without seeing it, there may be other invisible principles of success and abundance that faith makes available to us. The key is cultivating hope-filled vision and allowing that to spur us into conviction-driven action. Faith exercised regularly like a muscle gives us access to hitherto untapped potential.
