I've lived most of my life longing to have as much faith as the people listed in this chapter. There's just one problem:
Hebrews 11
38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. 39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. 40 God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
God has planned something better for us. If we're merely aiming to be as good as the people in scripture, we're aiming too low. God has something better in mind.
We need to adjust our expectations not to match what we see around us, but to what God can do with us.
