Psalm 99:6... Moses and Aaron we among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name; they called on his name and he answered them...
In Hebrews it tell us that as Christians we are part of a great "cloud of witnesses". We are part of a holy group of people who were dedicated to the Lord. We can take comfort and strength in know that we too can call on the Lord and he will answer us. We must remember that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" is saved. In fact we can do miracles in his name and not be saved.
The persons in the cloud of witnesses we defined in this way, vs 7, "they kept his statues and the decrees he gave". I used the word persons to make it individual... Daughters, each of you must live holy lives. You cannot live on the holiness of others. It's not the school or church you attend - although that make a difference on your outlook on life. It is not the family you grew up in - that too make a huge directional understanding of how to walk. No, it is you! How will you choose to live? God has your answers. Are you living in such a way that you are stored in the cloud"
