—Hebrews 11:8-19
by: Denovia Mckenzie.
In moments of discouragement, we may be tempted to give up on where God has brought us to and go back to what we were used to. The descendants of Abraham mentioned in the passage exercised faith by believing God would fulfill His promise to the subsequent generations. Though they did not see the complete fulfillment of God’s promise, they believed God would honor His Word. Their focus was heavenly and not earthly. Similarly, we should not look to the past for comfort nor abandon God’s call on our lives. Instead, we should hold on to the heavenly hope and press forward in faith.
