The Bible is full of the exploits of sinners just like us.
God is not ashamed of those who exhibit their faith in Him, in spite of the
moment of their weakness (Hebrews
11:16).
Many of them had a calling from God and fulfilled that mission with faith in God's faithfulness. As people of faith, we can include our self in that great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1).

These people of courage stood strong and were on their
guard (1 Corinthians
16:13). They resisted the devil by keeping a firm footing on their confidence
in God.
They walked by faith and not by sight, needing no physical proof for their beliefs (2 Corinthians 5:7). We can stand strong too, knowing that fellow Believers around the world are experiencing similar or even worse trials (1 Peter 5:9).

We learn how to live a life of faith from these ancient,
Biblical Saints. If we do not have faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). He
wants us to come to Him believing that He exists and that He rewards everyone
who earnestly seeks Him.
Faith believes God's Word, and is sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see in the natural realm (Hebrews 11:1). Faith believes that God formed the universe by His command, creating the galaxies simply by His spoken word (Genesis 1:3).
We look forward by faith to the Kingdom of God, because we are only aliens and strangers on this earth (1 Peter 2:11-12). Until we go to glory, we fight the good fight with courage, finish the race and trust in the goodness of God (2 Timothy 4:7).

Prayer:
Father God, we thank You for Your forgiveness, provided by
Your sacrifice of Your own son (Romans 8:23). We have no words to express our amazement or our
gratitude to You for this free gift (Ephesians 2:8). Our faith in You will extinguish all of Satan's flaming arrows, which he aims at us (Ephesians 6:16). By faith we eagerly look forward to Your Spirit birthing Your perfection in us (Galatians 5:5).
