Faith-story

 Isaiah 19-21; Hebrews 11

“These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.”

Hebrews 11:39, 40

The costly stories of faith throughout salvation history point us on the narrow path of discipleship in the way of Christ. It was Jesus who suffered in a long journey of obedience and once made perfect, or complete, became the source of our salvation (Hebrews 2:10; 5:8, 9). Our stories of faith are being recorded, and many are told and retold because God wants those stories kept alive for his glory. When our faith-story is part of God’s eternal salvation-story, we, too, will find our completeness, or perfection, together with men and women of faith throughout the ages. Our life’s purpose and meaning will only be discovered and claimed by faith.

“Lord Jesus, write your faith-story through me, for your glory.”
