Deep in Faith — Hebrews 11.1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen . The nature of faith is that we are blind to it . Building off the theme of nature ’ s pattern that exists in everything , I took a look at what faith might look like . The pigment of black used is called “ spinal black ”. It is the deepest black pigment that exists . In large concentration , it almost disappears . So is true of faith . The deeper one ’ s faith , the darker and more uncertain the journey is in reality .
