June 4th -- Hebrews 11
Holding Fast
Faith is honouring to God: and faith requires time for its exercise. God had made "great and precious promises" to the fathers: and He tried them by not specifying time and causing them to wait long. "And so after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise" (Heb. 6:15). Let us not weary under a similar test: "a patient continuance in well doing" is the revealed rule of our acceptance (Rom. 2:7), and this means a long time of waiting with nothing to rely on but confidence in the pledged word of Yahweh, i.e., faith, "without which, it is impossible to please Him" (Heb. 11:6). By such a process, we shall be prepared for a place among the tried sons of God, with whom we shall be enabled to say at the last, "Lo, this is our God, we have waited for Him; let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation" (Isa. 25:9).
