So much of a believer’s life is about learning to wait faithfully. Faithfulness is the practical response to a confident expectation that God will do what He said He would do. In Hebrews 11, we walk down the “hall of faith” and gaze at the impressive portraits of ancient believers and their trust in God. The author reminds us that these believers “were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.” The Spirit develops within us a sort of faithfulness so confident in God’s promises that we choose obedience even when the reward doesn’t come when we’d expect.
