Heroes

Most heroes are those who persevere against hardship. How can I emulate such people?

God’s Response

The godly people in the land are my true heroes! Psalm 16:3

All of these people we have mentioned received God’s approval because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised. For God had far better things in mind for us that would also benefit them, for they can’t receive the prize at the end of the race until we finish the race. Hebrews 11:39-40

God’s heroes are those who hang on to their faith in him no matter what happens. The Bible is full of examples of people who never stopped trusting God even though they were mocked, persecuted, or killed for their faith. God may not ask you to be a martyr for him, but is your faith strong enough to endure even a little derision or scorn? Determine to be faithful to God no matter what.

God’s Promise

We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. Job is an example of a man who endured patiently. From his experience we see how the Lord’s plan finally ended in good, for he is full of tenderness and mercy. James 5:11
