Today’s devotion comes from Hebrews 6:9-12.
“9 But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. 10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:9-12.

Following the warning of the previous Scripture so that we don’t coast to the finish line, today’s Scripture encourages us: “we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation”. Verse 9. It reminds us that “God is not unjust so as to forget your work” Verse 10. It shows the “desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end”. Verse 11. It exhorts us to be “imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Verse 12.

Be “imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises”!
Imitate Abraham: “In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Therefore it was also credited to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:18-22.
