How does imagination relate to faith and hope?

Read the passages in context

Paul’s contrast between seen and unseen things in 2 Corinthians comes in a discussion of hardship and eternal glory. He can acknowledge present suffering and still lift his readers’ eyes toward what endures. Hebrews similarly includes people who died in faith before seeing everything promised.

• Hebrews 11:1–16
• 2 Corinthians 4:16–18
• Philippians 4:8

Put the reading into practice

Imagine a faithful action you can take today, such as asking a friend to pray or reading a Psalm with your family. Pair that picture with a short prayer for wisdom. If picturing a desired outcome makes you feel pressured, try writing one hope and one manageable next step instead.
