Their God

“God is not ashamed to be called their God…” -  Hebrews 11:16

Many times I have looked at this verse and I have to ask myself the question, “Why?” Why isn’t God ashamed to be called their God?It is a verse that is both challenging and frightening! Speaking of the people in Hebrews 11 – a chapter also known as “The Hall of Faith” it says of them, “God is not ashamed to be called their God…” 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 here on earth “by faith” trusting and looking to God... as though... HE was EVERTHING to them! EVERYTHING... “…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 heavenly:” GOD was EVERYTHING to them! Challenging and frightening... Challenging because I do want this to be the prayer and aim of my life... Frightening because what if it never is the prayer and aim of my life? What a shame... Pastor
