Destitute and Poor

Hebrews 11 finishes off incredibly. What a life! Beaten up, dressed in tatters, enduring only for something that couldn't be achieved in this present life. Now that is faith! Imagine living for something beyond what we see, for a supposed life in heaven that no one really has proof of, that's beyond what our tangible reasoning can show. To let yourself be treated like dirt and never see the rewards of it before death. Now either that is stupid and wasteful or it's hectically amazing. There's no real middle ground here. And yet, every now and then we make space for that glimmer of thought: is this all there is? And here are a bunch of guys who believed in something more, something presently intangible, who believed that good is rewarded and justice is served. It's incredibly otherworldy, literally.
