Good morning.


Hebrews 11 is full of reminders of men and women whose faith was remarkable. The stories of those men and women remind us that walking by faith is a lifelong journey.


We, like them, will need to exercise faith again and again, even when we don’t “receive what was promised” (v. 39). We can see from their lives that:

•  faith depends not on human strength or understanding, but on God’s character and faithfulness.

• He “provide[s] something better” (v. 40) He created us, called us to relationship with Him, and lovingly guides us each step of the way.


These bible stories remind us that we are part of a larger story; one that stretches all the way back to Abraham and will continue long after we have joined the saints who’ve gone before us.


We can be thankful that in our struggles, we don’t struggle alone. We can persevere, running “the race ... set before us,” because we remember this “great cloud of witnesses surrounding us” (Hebrews 12:1). These fathers and mothers in the faith are reminders to depend on Jesus, who demonstrated perfect and unwavering trust in His Father.


Best of all, we can celebrate that God writes us into the same story, strengthening the legacy of faithfulness we will pass to those who follow us.


Blessings.

Mike and Daphne
