Out of Sight , On the Mind
Larson Hicks , OMS Human Resources
Hebrews 11:1 ( KJV )
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen .
The common phrase “ out of sight , out of mind ” refers to how if something is not seen , it can be easily forgotten . However , Hebrews 11:1 offers a different take on the idea of sight and thoughts . Here we read that our faith proves that just because we cannot see something in person does not mean it does not exist . The work being done by our OMS missionaries in countries other than the U . S . ties closely to this idea . Although I work at OMS World Headquarters in Greenwood , Indiana , and cannot see those being brought to Jesus in person or the experiences missionaries have while serving , my faith assures me that those things are still certainly happening around the world . Just as one can have faith that outside of the room , the world is still turning , I continue to have faith that outside of my city , state , country , and continent , people are still doing God ’ s work and spreading the Good News .
How can you spread the joy of God ’ s kingdom like the winds spread seeds , in ways nobody else sees ?
