35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!
36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
37 “For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.
38 And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”
39 But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
HEBREWS
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

the book of Hebrews was first thought to be written by the Apostle Paul.. but several centuries latter that has been disputed..
as of now.....like many poems we quote the author is unknown… but that does not stop.....nor hinder the … relevance… the importance.. the impact.. .. and most importantly the deliverance.. it brings when your read it...
one qoute i like simply says
“worrying wont stop the bad stuff from happening.... It just stops you from enjoying the good”...
in other words .. if you are going to make a conscious decision… not an emotional decision.. but a conscious decision to continue to focus on all the stuff thats going wrong in your life… in your home.. in your marriage…in your family.... in your community ..on your job.. .. across the world…
then why are you praying ....
the bible says in
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
..must belive.. must belvie
someone shout… I must Believe…
oh cmon.. you didnt sound convincing.. say it one more time… I must believe...
..
dont you know there is a diference between…just living and being alive… .
yes .. you must have heart beat to do both..
but to just live.. all you have to do is wake up and do the same thing that you did yesterday.. ..you can lay in the bed.. by choice or by force.. walk up and down the street… sit on the coach and allow the tv to watch you scroll thru social media...
but when you are alive.. there is something in you that refuses to allow you to just be zombie… a robot… just another individual thats going to and fro.. there is something in you that makes you continue to fight… because you believe .. something is about to happen...
you believe… greater is he that is in me.. than he thats in the world.... you may have had two.. three business ventures and the all failed.. but something says.. this is not the end..
look at the President of the United States.. he filed bankruptcy several times… but he still made it to the highest office in the land… the President.. whether you like it or not..
why dont you shout… i must believe…
..iv..
in our text the men and women of God .. had matured… they had learded how to accept the things that had begun to happen with their material positions.. .. around there communities and cities..
and instead of getting upset and bothered.. they had begun to rejoice…
bible says
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
1 peter 4:
..
but rejoice… they knew what was coming was .. is much greater .. than what was…
the written begins to challenge.. the belivers .. he tells them .. reminds them that the materials things that you may be losing right now.. .. you maybe saying but Lord.. Ive done all that you asked me to do…
at it looks like im being punished with the ones that didnt…
to that I say rejoice anyway...
verse 34.. part c.. says.. you have in heaven a better and enduring substance…
meaning.. that the blessing that are enstore for you when you get to heaven… are far greater than the things your losing right now..
you might have lost your job..
you may have lost a friend… or loved one..
but now is the time you have to be like brother Job...
in this time .. in this season.... your troubled on everyside.. this and that is going on… you must stand.. and say..
“yet will I see God..”
v..
the bible says… cast not away therefore your confidence..... your faith .. your belief…
