Scripture
Hebrews 11:16 Instead, they were longing for a better country---a heavenly one. Therefore god is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Observation
The patriarchs believed in what God promised, even though they would never see it. That is faith in the character of God, not the deeds of God. This type of faith was the reason for the pride that God had for those people.
Application
Am I faithful because of what God can do for me, or am I faithful because of who He is? His character is worthy of all my worship. His blessings to me are just a byproduct of being His child.
Prayer
May I always love you Lord for who you are, not for what you can do. I will worship you in the good times, and the bad. If I have much or nothing, you are still "Lord" of my life.
