Just a few thoughts :).....................................
"Therefore from one man and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude- inumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.".(vs12)
Am I as good as dead?
"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on earth". (vs 13)
Do we cofess that we are pilgrims? Do we everyday, with our every action and word delcare ourselves pilgrims?
"For these who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland". (vs14)
Let us seek a homeland that is incorruptable!
"And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has preapred a city for them". (vs 15-16)
We can always go back. Do not be fooled into thinking you will never return to living in sin. It is a day to da choice. our flesh will never leave us this side of heaven.
Let God not be ashamed of us.
If you get a chance read the whole chapter. It is very convicting and encouraging, totally blessed my socks off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
