Hebrews 11

We studied last night from Hebrews 11 about Abraham’s steady faith. When God spoke to him, he obeyed without hesitation. He is Israel’s hero throughout scripture and even today. Obviously God was pleased with him because his name is plastered all through Old and New Testament. He wasn’t perfect but he was obedient. It got him in the list of Jesus’ family heritage (Matthew 1:1) and in the faithful believers’ hall of fame in Hebrews 11. I wonder if Mary ever dreamed that her name would be so popular when she was a little girl. The Lord was/is great for taking people of insignificance and settng them up for fame (or shall I say familiarity) making them household names. There are manger scenes all over the Christian world that portray a mother holding a child. With all of this honor and prestige, she remained humble and in the shadows. Very few times is she seen out front. But this we know she believed her Son was the Savior of the world. She didn’t know how, but secrets from the angel of the Lord let her in on the big secret. You could be the key to something renown taking place if you will remain faithful in the little things. I pray that God will bless you and your family this Christmas season.
