(Hebrews 11:3 AMP) By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.
All of the things we now view around us came from a place that is immaterial. Not only that, the ages are programmed to unfold according to God's intented purpose. This great God of ours has commanded something to come out of nothing. We enjoy what He has called into existence everyday. He has also set things in orderly patterns so that what happens fits into His purpose. It is way beyond us to understand how evil, free will, and unbelief can be calculated into the purpose of God. In ways that only He completely understands He makes it all work together. Although He doesn't cause everything He is big enough and great enough to use everything that happens for His glory and our good. Even better news for us is our faith in God can still cause visible help to come from invisible places. Our faith in God can still introduce order into chaotic environments. We cannot sit around and continually watch things that need to be changed as if we are impotent. We are citizens of the kingdom of God. We must believe that his kingdom is to come and His will is to be done on earth as it is in heaven. The things we do not see are the things we need to believe God for. The chaotic scene that threatens our peace is the very setting we must by faith introduce order into. God still does what nees to be done. The question is can we believe He is able to do it in our everyday situations. Work it out!
