Hebrews 11:33–39
Through faith the mouths of lions
were shut, and fiery flame
was quenched; – the God all able
brought honour to his name.
Through faith, God’s people suffered
in persecution’s hour;
bore flogging, jeers and, torture
by Jesu’s grace and power.
Through faith some had escape from
the sword, but others bore
such death – their resurrection
ahead, by faith they saw.
The early Christian martyrs,
and Daniel, all were blest;
– the God of scripture trusted:
he helped them through the test.
God wants us to see the awesome things that we have in Him. He wants the eyes of our heart and our understanding to be enlightened so that we might know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe.
