Hebrews 11:32-34
“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, 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
