God is not ashamed to be called their God

“God is not ashamed to be called their God…”

Hebrews 11:16

 

Why?  Why isn’t God ashamed?

 

Why isn’t God ashamed to be called their God?

 

Because they not only chose Him to be their God - their only God, but they also chose to live their lives as though HE was EVERTHING… EVERY THING to them! They had the determination to really walk the walk.

“…if they had been mindful of that country of whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenlywherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.(Hebrews 11:15-16)

 

It should be our prayer that we also have this determination – for our own lives, for our family and our church that, “God is not ashamed to be called their God…”

 

With His help, and by His grace, may we also look toward that better country, that heavenly place while we live and work in this needy world.

 

 

 

Run... with patience,
