Today's Scripture *June 24, 2010*

Hebrews 11: 13-16

All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

These people of faith died without receiving all that God had promised, but they never lost their vision of heaven.

Many Christians become frustrated and defeated because their needs, wants, expectations, and demands are not immediately met when they accept Christ as Savior. They become impatient and want to quit.

Are you discouraged because the achievement of your goals seem far away? Take courage from these heroes of faith, who lived and died without seeing the fruit of their faith on earth and yet continued to believe.

Hebrews 11: 36-39 Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons. Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half,and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground. All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.

Thank You, Father God for the wonderful examples we have in Scripture of the great heroes of faith.

May we grow ever more daily, into a great people of faith ourselves. Never wavering or growing weak or weary in our commitment to You.

You are our Strength and we can be safe and sound when we place our hopes, dreams, desires, and our very lives into Your Hands.

Thank You Jesus! In Your Name, Amen..

Blessings!
