Hebrews 11:4-7 Abel...Enoch...Noah. These three godly men are selected for special mention from the time of creation until the great flood that devastated the earth (Genesis 6-8). Their lives are examples of various aspects of a life of faith.
To Have Faith Like Our ForefathersThere are days when discouragement rears its ugly head. Days when all I want to do is pull up the bed covers again and enter back into peaceful slumber. Days when I’m not sure my brain will last until 2pm, let alone the end of the day. Days when I can hardly keep my eyes open or think straight…let alone pray with any solidarity or fervor. Today was one of those days. Discouragement reared its ugly head, indeed. As my feet hit the bedroom floor, the immediacy of my need for supernatural strength became overwhelmingly clear. “Oh, Lord,” I prayed silently, “give me strength for the day ahead. I desperately need some encouragement.” I stumbled to the coffee pot and, after doctoring up a lovely cup of brew, plopped down in my chair, my chosen spot for reading the Word. Venturing through the book of Hebrews was my most recent daily joy, and the Lord knew just what passage to send my way at that very moment. It would be His faithful answer to my weary prayer for help. Many of you may recognize the passage as the “Hall of Faith” (Hebrews 11). At that moment, it became a spring of encouragement for my heart and tired body. If discouragement is building its unwelcome, ugly head in your own heart and mind today; if circumstances are heavy and complicated today; if relationships are proving difficult to navigate; if approaching God’s throne of grace is a battle, my prayer for you is the same one I prayed for myself: Oh, Lord, give my brothers and sisters strength for the day ahead. We desperately need some encouragement! Start with these truths; pray through them; ask the Holy Spirit to encourage your heart by them; then, move forward with your day, trusting God to help you receive them with faith to live in the light of his precious, strong promises.
