Proverbs 2:20 NIV

By February 2, 2025No Comments

“Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous”

I love the stories of the saints of old. I also enjoy the stories of the men and women God has used over the past hundred years or so to establish some of the great Kingdom movements, ministries, and churches of today. There are some truly spectacular ones. Who isn’t familiar with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien? Billy Graham is a bit more contemporary. The writings about these three—and so many others—are available to challenge and encourage us. There are also men and women living and working today, both inside and outside the organized church and ministries, who are blazing trails for those of us in God’s family to look to as examples. Hebrews 11 is filled with examples of men and women of faith, who are referred to in chapter 12 as a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on. It goes on to tell us to fix our eyes on Jesus as we diligently pursue His call on our lives. When we look to the example of a brother or sister in Christ who has been faithfully following Jesus for years, it is as though we are fixing our eyes on Jesus. We are to see their good works and recognize God as the source of their story. Today, let’s both follow their examples and be examples ourselves. #BeTheEdge

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,” Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬
