victory now or vindication later

Hebrews 11:32-35 (JDV)

Hebrews 11:32 And what more can I say? Time is too short for me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
Hebrews 11:33 who by faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,
Hebrews 11:34 quenched the raging of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, gained strength in weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.
Hebrews 11:35 Women received their dead, raised to life again. Other people were tortured, not accepting release so that they might gain a better resurrection.

There were people of faith who overcame their obstacles and there were other people of faith who gained a better resurrection instead. They were all winners. If you don’t seem to be winning over your troubles right now, stay focused on your faith. Your vindication is on its way.
