And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.
Hebrews 11:39‭-‬40 NKJV

They will not receive the promise until they are with us.

All those who suffered and died but still walked by faith were brought to their situations to set as good examples to us - that no matter how hard they are going through at that moment in their lives, they held on to God. Although, God's promise has not been given to them yet, this verse assures them and us that He will, at the right time, when all of us are together.

God continues to inspire me everyday. He keeps me pushing forward and never gets me discouraged although I tend to. As I read the testimonies from Abraham to Joseph and the others, staying faithful to our God although they were not perfect, that they are poor, not skilled or talented, builds up my confidence and determination to go on. There are a lot of struggles that keeps on bringing negativity, sadness and bad influences that may make me down but God is there to make me stronger and stronger in faith that I may overcome these things.

I should not stop seeking God everyday, for in it I find courage although I'm afraid, strength although I'm weak and confidence although I have no trust in myself. If God does not answer our prayers now and makes His promises true at this time of you life, then I should say that we must be patient. For at the right time, He will reward us with everlasting gifts.
