Hebrews 1-10 give us all the evidence & encouragement,as well as the reasons that we should have lives transformed by a vibrant relationship with Almighty God...,because of everything that Jesus Christ is and all that He has done & proven!Chapter 10 also gives us the telltale signs of lacking  a real&honest&sincere devotion to Jesus Christ,so we can have the discernment & wisdom needed to be honest&transparent with ourselves about the condition of our own heart & the sincerity of our own FAITH/CONFIDENCE in The Lord.Then the entire chapter 11 is filled with examples of what living by FAITH in The Lord looks like in the lives of a bunch of people.These people had lives marked by making decisions,big & small,that led to these imperfect men&women seeking & following The God that sovereignly enables these same men&women,& all others who seek&follow Jesus Christ to be TRANSFORMED by the Mercy&Grace of The Only Living&Loving God.This FAITH/CONFIDENCE in The Lord that all the people of Hebrews 11 have has at least a few common elements to it.1)They REVERED God as Lord of their lives & SOUGHT TO KNOW HIM because of this;2)They BELIEVED what God says n His Word and through His Spirit;3)They had an ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE for their lives;4)These previous 3 elements led them to think,respond,plan,and make decisions based on God’s Word and His Spirit.These r the foundational elements of what real life CONFIDENCE/FATIH in The Lord looks like,and how we become transformed while living our day to day lives,just as the people in Hebrews11 were being transformed as they lived their lives thinking,responding,planning,& making decisions according to the Heart of God as He reveals through His Word & His Spirit.If the way I think,respond,plan,& make decisions do not line up with the Heart of God,then I am NOT being transformed by The Love of God,but I am being transformed by all things other than God’s Love.To truly be transformed by His Mercy&Grace,will only happen as I seek to think,respond,plan,& make decisions based on what I learn from seeking The Lord through His Word, & by being seeking to be increasingly sensitive to His Spirit by saying yes to His Spirit more & more as I live through every moment of every day.Dear Lord God,I am so guilty of not thinking,not responding,not planning,& not making decisions as if I truly revered You/Your Spirit/Your Word.Please help me to humbly admit this in my own heart/mind/life...and may the transformation enabled by Your Mercy&Grace occur in my heart/mind/life more and more every day.
