I'm in the mood to write.

There are some days were I just get this urge to write. I'm tired. I know I need sleep. I know I need to wake up early. But I want to write something

Last night I read Hebrew 11. I love this chapter because of its emphasis on faith. Sometimes I think that my life sucks, or that I could list 100 reasons why it's hard for me to remain faithful to the Lord. However, when I read this I get a reality check and realize that I'm acting like a sissy. Paul talks about all these Old Testament figures who persevered and followed God's lead, as unpromising the consequences seemed. Look at Noah; people must have thought he was crraazzzyyy. I mean really, if someone came up to you and said "Hey, listen, I'm building this ark because the whole earth is going to be washed away in a massive flood and God told me it's my duty to preserve the animals and mankind", you would have thought they had some sort of mental illness. But Noah remained faithful and trusted God's plan for his life and look where it got him!

Biblical figures had it so much rougher:
 "I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies." [Hebrews 11:32-34, NIV]

I need to place my trust completely in God. I need to remain faithful when I have a bad day, a low self-esteem, an overwhelming homework load, or a sick day. My petty issues are getting in the way of following Christ wholeheartedly.  I need to strengthen my faith and count on the Lord to get me through each day rather than rely on my own strength.

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." [Hebrews 11:6, NIV]

Thanks for reading!
