Many of you may be thinking, I am on the north side of forty and well past my prime. While others may be thinking, I am still pretty young, but I do not have the physical or athletic ability required to make it to anybody’s Hall of Fame.
The Hall to which I speak is the Faith Hall of Fame. One’s physical or athletic ability has nothing to do with gaining entrance into this illustrious club.
To understand what the Faith Hall of Fame is, we must first define faith. God defines faith in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” The rest of Hebrews 11 goes on to give us several examples of people who demonstrated faith. This chapter is known as the Faith Hall of Fame.
So, you might be thinking – these were great people of the Bible, and I am just an ordinary Joe. News flash – many of them were incredibly flawed. It was their consistent and sustained faith that made them great people of God.
Note 2 self: Until we take our last breath, we all have an opportunity to earn our place in the Faith Hall of Fame. Jesus tells us in Luke 17:6, “… If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.” Even with just a little faith, we can accomplish great things.
So, who wants to join me in my effort to earn my way into the Faith Hall of Fame?
We can do this!
Blessings to you all, my friends.
