Hebrews 11:1-7
Reflect
Over the next couple of days, we are launching into some of the most inspiring verses in Scripture. What is motivating is that each of the people mentioned lived in responsive obedience to God’s leading in their life. None of them had the benefit of fast forwarding their life to observe the consequences of their actions. Their part was to simply to trust God, to believe that God continues to write His story, and He consistently uses very ordinary people to do the spectacular.
The way of Jesus is simplicity. We mess things up when we add onto His purity, usually out of our own insecurity about wanting to fit in.
The story of Scripture is not about doing life perfectly, it’s about believing that there is something much bigger than what we see.
It’s not about perfection. Not one of the Hebrews 11 faith giants was perfect. Faith doesn’t guarantee health or wealth. Faith is about surrendering to One that loves us so much that as the Perfect High Priest, He sacrificed everything in order for us to have true love.

Are you seeking beauty? Greater hope? Greater love? Accept that you are all of that, and so much more as you trust Jesus.
In faith, who will you come alongside of today, believing that God is including you in His redemptive story?
