WEDNESDAY LAMB DEVOTIONAL NUGGET- Hebrews

“Faith-filled women saw their dead children raised in resurrection power. Yet it was faith that enabled others to endure great atrocities. They were stretched out on the wheel and tortured, and didn’t deny their faith in order to be freed, because they longed for a more honorable and glorious resurrection! Others were mocked and experienced the most severe beating with whips; they were in chains and imprisoned. Some of these faith champions were brutally killed by stoning, being sawn in two or slaughtered by the sword. These lived in faith as they went about wearing goatskins and sheepskins for clothing. They lost everything they possessed, they endured great afflictions, and they were cruelly mistreated. They wandered the earth living in the desert wilderness, in caves, on barren mountains and in holes in the earth. Truly, the world was not even worthy of them, not realizing who they were.”  Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭35‬-‭38‬ ‭TPT‬‬


My Take:  This is the statement that struck me this morning:

Yet it was faith that enabled others to endure........

After it was a long list of very difficult destructive situations that out forefathers of the Faith endured. Tough times make tough people. Determine now your reaction to any action that may come. RESPOND IN FAITH 📖🔥

.........when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?”  Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
