Meditating The Word

Day 357: Hebrews 11-13

Today on Meditating the Word: Faith in Action, God Disciplines His Children, Warning and Encouragement, Mountains of Fear and Joy.
This is Day 357. We are reading Hebrews 11-13----
Father God, reading about those who led the way in the faith walk, we are encouraged. It isn't perfection you seek. We have read about the lives of all of these great men and women of God, and not one of them was perfect. Each of them were flawed and missed the mark. But they loved You and had faith in Your Word and Your promises. You framed the universe and all that is with Your Word, and You created us in Your image expecting us to also understand and use the power of our words. We seek, above all, to please You, Father. And Your Word is clear that the only way we can please You is through faith. We know that faith is the very substance, the title deed, the assurance of the things we hope for. So we ask today, Father, that You strengthen our faith, whether it takes 25 years to see Your Word fulfilled in our lives, or even if, as the prophets of old, we don't see the fulfilment in our lifetime, we will stand firm in faith, believing. Amen

----
Father God, we pray for our leaders, for those in positions of power. We pray that they lead with godly wisdom. May those who don't know You be surrounded by men and women of faith who can guide and advise them. May they be saved, Father, and come to full knowledge of the truth. Open our hearts to revere our elders, even though that doesn't seem to be the custom in this current age and culture. It was never Your plan that people rely on the government to care for them in their later years, but that family would take care of their own, and where family wasn't available, the church would care for them. Bring us back to Your values and away from the selfish values of the world. May love be what drives us, and not a desire for wordly riches. May we learn to be content. Certainly, we came into the world with nothing, and will leave with nothing save the treasures that we have stored up in heaven. We set our hope on You and You alone, we follow after righteousness and we fight the good fight of faith. The fight that Jesus has already won. Amen
