Faith Rewarded

Promise of the Day:
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. (Romans 4:3)

Prayer:
Yes, Lord, Abraham believed You. He looked ahead to the promise of a land, a nation, and the Messiah and by faith he believed. We have the completed work of Christ to look back on, yet many still cannot accept it. There is the saying that 'hind-sight is 20/20 vision', yet the majority are still blind, and ignore the promise already given to us.
One of the servants of old whom I love to think about is Noah. Noah had never seen rain, he didn't live near the sea, he probably had no idea how many species of animals there were, let alone how to find them. Yet he worked, year after year, for 100 years, building the ark because God told him to. And once completed, he must have stood back in amazement as the animals arrived. His reward? Hebrews 11:7 states he became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. I, too, am the recipient of righteousness, not having seen You, but I believe You came, died, rose again and You are waiting to receive me into Glory! You are such an awesome God! Amen
