Having Faith, Trusting God
Illustrations by Beth M. Whittaker
Hebrews 11 talks about faithful people who trusted God and followed Him. Match the picture of each person with their story. (Look up the scriptures if you need a hint!)
Noah (Hebrews 11:7)
God told me to build an ark. Because I obeyed, my family and I were saved from the flood.
Abraham (Hebrews 11:8–9)
God told me to travel to a new land. I obeyed, even though I didn’t know where I was going. I was led to a promised land where I could raise a family.
Sara (Hebrews 11:11–12)
God told me I would be a mother. Even though I was too old to have children, I had a baby! Now my family is as numberless as the stars in the sky or sands on the seashore.
Moses (Hebrews 11:24–29)
God told me to lead the slaves out of Egypt. We crossed the Red Sea on dry ground.
Use Hebrews 11:1 to fill in the blanks below:
“Now _ _ _ _ _ is the substance of things _ _ _ _ _ for, the evidence of things _ _ _ _ _ _ _.”
This means that when we have faith, we trust God, even if we can’t see the answers right away. Stay faithful!
Answers: faith, hoped, not seen
