Hi GAMErs,<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s passage is Hebrews 10:32-39.\u00a0\u00a0Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

Hebrews 10:35-36 (NIV)\u00a0<\/strong>
\n35\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
\n36\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 32-39:\u00a0\u00a0Once again the theme of perseverance comes up here in these verses.\u00a0\u00a0To encourage the Christians he is writing to, the writer of Hebrews recalls the early days of their faith when they suffered much persecution, even having their property confiscated and going to prison for their faith.\u00a0\u00a0Apparently they did so joyfully because they knew that they \u201chad better and lasting possessions\u201d (v34).\u00a0\u00a0(It reminds me of that famous quote from missionary Jim Elliott who wrote, \u201cHe is no fool who loses what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.\u201d)\u00a0\u00a0In a time when his readers were likely tempted to leave their faith or disconnect themselves from church, the writer of Hebrews encourages his readers not to throw away their confidence and urges them to persevere \u201cso that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what has been promised.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0(v36)<\/p>\n

What can we learn from this?\u00a0\u00a0If you\u2019re going through some adversity right now, don\u2019t give up.\u00a0\u00a0Persevere and hang onto your faith in Jesus.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Remember that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. God reserves His greatest blessings for those who persevere.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. You can\u2019t accomplish anything great without persevering through some adversity, and sometimes lots of it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Heavenly Father, thank You for Your encouragement to persevere, that in times when we would rather give up, You encourage us to hang onto You and You will see us through.\u00a0\u00a0I hang onto You today.\u00a0\u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name, AMEN!<\/em><\/p>\n
