“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:3
Have you ever noticed that paintings always look so much better when they are placed in the right frame? It’s one thing to see a beautiful painting on an easel, but once it is set in the right frame it brings the colors and features together into a full expression of the artist’s intentions!
The above scripture states that God framed the worlds by his Word! Many never realize that God gifted His Word to us so we could use it to co-author our life with the Master of Life Himself! Then His role as the Author and finisher of our faith will become a reality for us as we follow Him! I think it’s amazing to know that we can actually partner with God to frame our world! He wants your life to be a masterpiece! All you need is the right frame to bring it all together! That frame is the Word of God!
Think about the amazing things He has said about us; that we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us! That we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us! That we have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness! That we have been born into His family by faith in Jesus! That as He is so are we in this world! That we are New Creations! That we are partakers of the divine nature! That His age old mystery has been revealed in us, which is Christ in you, the Hope of Glory! Like I said, the right frame helps bring out the amazing new creation God made you to be! You’re a child of the living God!
Unfortunately, too many people have framed their world with negative words, words of fear and bondage! They have spoken the words of the enemy over their lives and those words have framed an evil plan of sin, sickness, weakness, and fear. BUT – it’s a frame that is easily replaced! It’s as weak and useless as its author, the devil; and his yoke is easily destroyed by the anointing of God! Very simply, it can be replaced by the Word of Truth that has been true all along, just waiting for you to believe it and walk in it. It’s the Word of faith, “that if you shall confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved! For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation!” (Romans 10:9-10)
It may take a little while, but if you start believing and saying what God says about you, your life will begin to take on a new frame! You’ll find you have become an expression of the life He intended for you; that you will be like “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” Proverbs. 25:11
