Hebrews 11:30-40 {Lesson 11/Day 9}

Is it hard to imagine yourself when you read of the lives of these men and women? It is for me. With very few exceptions, each of these died for their faith. But who is called to follow? Aren’t we all struggling, worried, failures to some degree? I am. And yet there Jesus is calling us with all our mess-ups, with our past, with our pride, with our vices. Our lives should be lived in the world as if to be listed right along the roll call of these faithful. Why not? That’s not pride...that’s faith. Are we going to blow it? Yep. But so did every one of the faithful listed in this chapter! But each one – like you and me – received grace from God. How could it be grace if we weren’t so weak and unworthy? Be ready. Be willing. Be aware of the cost. Practice your faith
