Today’s devotion comes from Hebrews 11:6.
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6.
———————–
Here are three examples of faith seeking the ultimate reward.
Abraham “… was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” Hebrews 11:10.
“By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.” Hebrews 11:24-26.
“But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.” Hebrews 11:16.
What is this city “which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God”?
What is this “reward”?
What is this “better country, that is, a heavenly one”?
We know it to be heaven, the ultimate reward.
