Hebrews 11 is all about real people who are not at all heroes of the faith, as I thought they were growing up. Did they have faith, yes. Did they do great things, yes. Did God show up in their lives, absolutely. And - they were a mess, they had long pauses, they made massive mistakes, they had to struggle and wrestle in the middle with themselves and with God. They had to let go and let God do His work.
This life of faith that we are called to live is about showing up in our mess, day after day, year after year and saying “I don’t have this, I need You.”
