These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with uswould they be made perfect.

Hebrews 11

These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with uswould they be made perfect. v39-40

In yesterday's post, I wrote about how we should understand how we are foreigners and strangers on earth but citzens of earth.  This morning I read about how heroes of the Bible from Abraham on all lived by faith, focusing not on their time on earth but on Heaven and on God's promise.  We should all focus and rest on God's promise.

My Prayer: God You are a great God who has reserved a place in Heaven for all who believe in You, including me...broken and all.  What a great God You are Jesus that You would suffer and die and do so much for me.  I am broken and in desperate need of You.  Please forgive me for me selfishness and my laziness.  Help me turn from such sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.   Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength, comfort and freedom from pain.  Help me focus on Heaven and eternal rewards...not on my time here on earth.  Please heal and cure Lisa of her cancer.  Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
