Believe When You Cannot See!

“For we live by believing and not by seeing.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭

If we based everything that we do on what we can see to believe in then we’d never get anywhere in life. Things that we are able to believe in and that are most important are unseen. Happiness is a key factor in each of our lives, we all want it and need it, but see you can’t see happiness for it self only in forms. Often a smile when you pass a stranger, a hug when you see someone after a while, and even a laugh with others. Happiness is something we all search and dream to feel in the sad moments, although it is unseen we believe that it is there. That is exactly how God is, although we cannot see Him completely we can see him in forms. When a stranger opens a door, when someone says “God bless you”, when you’re at your lowest and someone comes to you with kindness, when someone hugs you when you’re sad, a smile at the sadness moments and even an invite to church. God is all around us although He is not seen. You can search your whole life to see Him but never will. The Bible tells us that we aren’t supposed to see His face, I assume in Heaven we will someday, but our days on earth are solely based on believing without seeing. The true test of faith is believing without seeing. That’s exactly what we should do about our future also, we should believe that God has it all handled although we cannot see what is ahead. If we can believe in God without seeing we most definitely can believe He has great plans for our future for us! Today rest and relax knowing God has the future all planned out, all you have to worry about is believing without seeing! Here are some verses to reflect on today! “Jacob named the place Peniel (which means “face of God”), for he said, “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared.””Genesis‬ ‭32‬:‭30‬ ‭ “Yes, he wrestled with the angel and won. He wept and pleaded for a blessing from him. There at Bethel he met God face to face, and God spoke to him—”Hosea‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬ ‭ “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬ ‭ “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
