Confident of Better Things

"But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you..."

(Hebrews 6:9a)

I always think of the book of Hebrews as the book on faith. That’s always what sticks out in my mind—the definition of faith in Hebrews 11 that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (vs. 1). But in my current study of Hebrews this small verse long before that popular one jumped out at me. You see, I was having one of those weeks wondering what’s the point and crying out to God for clarity on why things are the way they are. I was feeling as though no one was listening and wondering why I continued to talk. I was feeling inefficient, ineffective, and unfruitful. So as I read the words in chapter 6, I felt as though God was whispering to me on saying to be ‘confident of better things for me’. No matter what my circumstances look like today, better things are coming my way as a result of my relationship with Christ. And, what’s more, vs 10 begins by saying that God is not unjust and won’t forget what we do in labor for Him.

What a gracious reminder from our loving Father! Perhaps you are feeling inefficient, ineffective and unfruitful too. Perhaps you’re wondering why you are where you are and trying to see the forest for the trees. I want to encourage you today from the Word of God that I am confident of better things coming your way. Hang in there.

Be encouraged!
