Give Me A Faith Like That

Do you have a favorite Bible character that you're looking forward to meeting? Perhaps it's the more famous saints like Daniel or David or the apostle Paul, or maybe you are curious to talk with those whose names are only mentioned in passing. God is so gracious to preserve His Word, not only the doctrines and theology that guide our faith but the real-life stories that inspire our faith. The individual, historical records of ordinary men and women in the Bible narrate in living color God's plan of redemption, which culminated in Jesus. Like Moses, each one had their own "burning bush" experience where they had to decide if they would walk by faith in the Creator and His infallible promises, or trust in their own knowledge, depending on sight and emotion. We have a role to play in God's story, too. Ours may not be written down in scripture, but it is significant and important as we pass on our faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ to those around us. Come with me as we step into the lives of faithful men and women who lived before us. Let us learn our lessons well, for one day, we will all stand around God's throne, from the first generation to the last, together worshipping the One in whom our faith rests.
