The LORD said:
My people, when you stood
at the crossroads,
I told you, “Follow the road
your ancestors took,
and you will find peace.”
HEBREWS 6:11-12 (CEV)
We wish each of you would always be eager to show how strong and lasting your hope really is. Then you would never be lazy. You would be following the example of those who had faith and were patient until God kept his promise to them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Tune into the example of those who have preceded us along the route of faithfulness.
DAILY FODDER
Not all the roads our ancestors took were faithful. How do you know when to follow their example and when to blaze a new pathway?
PRAYER
Faithful God, thank you for the stories of those who have attempted to follow you in the past. Forgive me for thinking that my moment is so unique that I don't have to pay attention to their witness. Lead me deeper into the biblical story so I can see where our pathes cross. I'm going to let ancient godly wisdom steer me along the modern path. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
