What More Shall I Say?

And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets. 

Hebrews 11:32 

The stories of the lives of the people of faith is the stuff of legends. The writer of Hebrews concludes his chapter on the heroes of the faith long before he runs out of material. He has spoken of faithful people from Abel to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He has included women of faith like Sarah, Moses’ mother and Rahab. He has worked his way through the heroes till he arrives at Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jepthah, and David. He has fully recorded their acts of faith and their sufferings for the truth. Living by faith has taken many people through numerous hardships and even to horrific deaths. The common thread that runs through all their experiences is they lived and died in faith. Their faith was in the character of God; the word of God; the promise of God and the Christ of God. God promised Him in the garden; foretold Him throughout the Old Testament; revealed Him in the New Testament and continues to accomplish all that pertains to Him today. All these people of faith lived and died on the bare promise of God. What more shall we say?  

Great God of Wonders, 
we rejoice that You have told us the stories of all these people of faith. 
We praise You that from them we have learned 
to walk by faith ourselves.
