Hebrews 11:39-40 “And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since GOD had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.”
That Measureless Moment!
The faith of those past in the pages of Scripture, such as Moses, Samson, and Jephthah
of David, Samuel and Gideon…
These faithful yet did not receive GOD’s great Promise with HIS most sovereign timing – still pending.
Not as a delay nor of power found failing, HIS transforming set instant well planned
shows great patience to graft in the others of whom we are also awaiting HIS presence.
Then! Glory – that Day – we shall all be made one! As such, rejoice greatly…oh present believer!
We were scripted for this very span…to embrace HIM without wasted time.
So we long for that Day when HE blends all HIS children into one blest fold – finally perfect!
As HIServant awaiting HIS return to unite us in SPIRIT and in Truth in that measureless moment for Heaven,

Devotional: John 10:16 “I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to MY voice, and there shall be one flock and one SHEPHERD.”
Most often this is truthfully preached as GOD including the Gentile whom HE grafted in along with the Jew. But consider also the folds of those who have passed and those who remain.
We will become one flock – all past and present believers – both Jew and Gentile…in that blessed transformation!
So that Measureless Moment is often spoken of as the twinkling of an eye, the briefest of spans, even – instantaneous!
The heroes of the Faith of old know of these promises in part for the New Testament was yet here. The LORD had not yet come the first time.
But thanks be to GOD for designing a time table that includes all who’ve believed, us present and those yet future to bend then knee!
Perfect timing indeed! Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Amen and amen.
