True Faith!

“And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.” 2 Peter‬ ‭2:5‬ ‭

Sometimes faith will make you look foolish to others. Think of the story of Noah, God gave absolutely no warning of the flood to everyone except Noah. Everyone thought Noah was silly for believing in the rain and that it was coming, no one could see it. If you have faith in something but no one else can see it then it doesn't change what you can see through your faith. Keep believing in what you're praying and having faith over. Everyone eventually believed Noah when it began to rain. Your faith is what is speaking those things into existence. If Noah never had the faith and listened to what everyone else was saying He would have never built the ark, saved all the creatures and humanity as a whole. We would all have disappeared because of His lack of faith and his decision to trust in humans instead of God. That is why it is so important when God tells us something that we follow through with it even when others laugh, make fun of us, and cannot see the whole picture that we can through our faith. Today, hold on to that promise God has grown within you, it will bring you to your purpose and bring His purpose to pass. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “So Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.” Genesis‬ ‭7:5‬ ‭ “And be sure to take on board enough food for your family and for all the animals.”” Genesis‬ ‭6:21‬ ‭ “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Hebrews‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭ “By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.” Hebrews‬ ‭11:3‬ ‭

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...
