Thoughts on Today's Verse.... I'm not good at waiting for much of anything. I'm like the kids who have seen the ads for Christmas toys, are anxious for the big gift day, and begin to tell everyone what they want for Christmas. God does have the "Greatest Gift Day" ahead for us. On that wonderful day, all our waiting will be over, and our faith will become sight. But we grow tired of waiting. We can easily worry about what we don't have or how we have been treated. The evil one wants to discourage us and smother out our faith. So, let's follow the example of these great heroes of faith in Hebrews 11:1-40. Let's anticipate and welcome our "Greatest Gift Day" from afar, not letting our apparent circumstances dampen our spirits, weaken our faith, or stop our praise to God for our coming victory through Jesus Christ.
