Not Dispirited, Inspired


By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Hebrews 11:7

What do we do when the world we know comes crashing down around us?  When the car falls apart, the bills pile up and the kids act up, do we give up? 

God knows that rough patches are rough on us.  To help us along, He gave us the Book of Hebrews, Chapter 11.  Noah is one of many whose lives seemed to be nearly destroyed, but who were not dispirited, but inspired by their faith in God that everything would be alright. 

We are confident that as trials and tribulations come and go, we remain safe in God’s care, because He loves us. 

We are not dispirited.  We are inspired.
