Hebrews 11:32-34
“And what shall I more say? for the time
would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae;
of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued
kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of
lions, Quenched the violence of fire,
escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant
in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.”
Sometimes in life we give attention to
people who appear larger than life and forget those people whose
accomplishments we
consider small only because we were comparing them with
others. But if we were to examine them without any comparison we will see that
on their merit they are worth celebrating.
Most times when we study faith we
study the faith of the likes of Abraham and David and other major characters
and we stop there but the Bible did not do so, so here we see people being mentioned
who ordinarily going by the way people do things in this world, may not get
much attention.
In the Bible these ones did not have elaborate mention only
because of “time” or is it “space”? For the writer said, “…for the time would fail me…” This means
before God, every faith victory is an important victory and ought to be
celebrated. Have you heard some one say, “my testimony is not as big as so and
so? Or maybe you.
That is what I am talking about. There is no little faith victory or big faith
victory, every victory is just that; a faith victory.
“…and this is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith.” 1John 5:4
So whatever victory you got by faith, maybe your
faith got you healed of a headache celebrate it as the one whose faith got them
healed of a cancer. God celebrates you! Today, rejoice about those things you
call little victories in your life
