By faith, Jericho’s walls collapsed—but by faith, God’s people were also tortured, mocked, flogged, sawed in two, and wandered destitute. Some escaped death; others endured it. Some saw victory; most only saw promises from a distance. Yet all were commended—not for outcomes, but for refusing to let pain rewrite God’s faithfulness. They died still believing, awaiting a “better resurrection.” Their stories whisper to every weary believer today: Great faith isn’t measured by deliverance in this life, but by clinging to God when deliverance never comes.
