Noah, Abraham, Moses and the early disciples all had something in common.
They all stayed faithful to their callings no matter what their circumstances.
... Noah obeyed while alone.
... Abraham trusted though old.
... Moses persevered for decades.
... And the first disciples stayed true in defiance of the Roman Empire.
Also... these all knew their obedience was not in vain... because they believed God was able.
And He remains able to fulfill His purpose through those He calls -- no matter what situation we may find ourselves in our own generation.
May God give us a vision for something far better than what we're seeing in our daily news.
'Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen' (Heb.11:1).
