Devotional: Abiding Under His Shadow - Day 3
Day 3: Don't Throw Away Your Confidence
Reading: Hebrews 10:35-39
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 12:1-3
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Devotional: You have need of patience so that after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. Notice the sequence: doing God's will comes before receiving the promise. There's often a gap—a waiting period that requires endurance. Don't throw away your confidence during this interval; it has great reward. We're surrounded by witnesses who persevered in faith. Look to Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him—and part of that joy was you. He looked past the suffering to the reward. You can do the same. Consider Him when you grow weary in your mind. Don't confuse patience with procrastination—one is faith-filled endurance, the other is faithless delay. Run your race with endurance, eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
