Lingering

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for,
being convinced of what we do not see.

For by it the people of old received God’s commendation.
By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command,
so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.

By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain,
and through his faith he was commended as righteous,
because God commended him for his offerings.

And through his faith he still speaks, though he is dead.
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death,
and he was not to be found because God took him up.
For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God.

Now without faith it is impossible to please him,
for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those who seek him. By faith Noah,
when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard
constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family.

Through faith he condemned the world and
became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
Hebrews 11:1-7 (NET)


Lingering
Do not be distracted, but learn to linger with me.
Allow my ways to influence you, to set you in right alliance.
Be anchored in my waters. Learn to walk upon the waves.
