\nDay 20<\/strong>
\nThere is something better than expecting to get everything we\u2019re hoping for here and now. It is a willingness to wait for all our deepest longings to be fulfilled in heaven.<\/i>
\nRead Hebrews 11:8-28.
\nAbraham may have died with no home and with only a cave to his name. Moses may have died having never stepped foot into the Promised Land. But they died confident of a better place\u2014a better country than Canaan, a better home than the Promised Land.
\nBecause they desired this better heavenly country, they persevered in their faith, even when they couldn\u2019t see it. And through their perseverance, they received the privilege of being commended by God.
\nList at least six characteristics that describe the people of faith mentioned in 11:13-16.
\nDo you find yourself longing for a better country\u2014a heavenly one? If so, what are you most looking forward to? If not, why do you think that is?
