Day of Praise

Fr, 03/13/15, "Day of Praise"

"Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection." - Hebrews 11:35

 

God's not only worthy of our praise, for God is almighty and abounding in faithful love, but God's also given us people who inspire us to stay the course and to trust God no matter what.

 

Today's verse speaks of people both who trusted God and saw miracles and also who trusted God and tasted death.

 

Their inspiration was the "better resurrection" that God promised in Jesus. The "lesser" is what we get when we turn from Jesus so we can have what the world offers. The "better" is what we get when we turn from the world so we can have what God offers.

 

Hebrews 11 lists how people lived for the "better". They inspire us.

 

Who lives for the better and inspires you? Praise God for them!

Praise God!
