And Others!

Are you one of the “and others” from Hebrews 11:35b-40? If so you might be on the front lines of God’s present active plan.

Remember Job, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego! They were God’s best and they faced great trials because of their righteousness. If you are suffering for your faith, through no fault of your own then consider yourself blessed. As Rich Mullins wrote “you meet God in the furnace long before you meet Him in the air.” And remember one more who suffered — our lord Jesus Christ.

“If we endure, we will also reign with Him. . . (2 Tim. 2:12).”
