A
reminder for today
So I end this month with these
words from Hebrews 11
How
much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of
the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and all the
prophets. By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice,
and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched
the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness
was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to
flight. Women received their loved ones back again from death. But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free.
They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection. 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. For God had something better in mind
for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us
With faith there is no mountain too high and no storm to
fierce, there is no fear and no more worries. There is just faith and trust.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
