It is coooooooold outside! I completed my ten things for the day. I actually had most of them done by noon.Only 28 days left!! Some days writing my blog takes longer than doing my ten things. I try to always pray before I write, but some days I am a little distracted or tired and my heart is not completely in it. For the last four days in a row when I have prayed and asked what I should write about God has given me one word...........
"FAITH" five small letters that can make such a big difference in how we view and live our life. God says it is impossible to please him with out it. He tells us in Hebrews 11:6 and without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those that earnestly seek him...... There are some days when we feel an enormous amount of FAITH, but other times when we are really feeling weary we struggle.
Those are the times we have to pray even harder and make a choice to have FAITH and continue to believe even when we don't get an immediate response that is obvious to us.Why is it at times we find it hard to believe that the same God that created the universe cannot come up with a solution to our problems? There are many reasons we feel that way. God says in Jeremiah 32:27 " I am the LORD,the God of all mankind. Is anything to hard for me?"
Maybe we have been let down by people just a few too many times and we fear God will let us down too. We might feel God is disappointed in us therefore he won't help or we may feel we have blown it one too many times to ask him for help.That is where Grace and Mercy comes in. There are some who have been through things so horrendous that they think if there is a God he could not possibly love and care for them and that they were not worth helping.
Because of the fall of man in the beginning it made life a little more challenging as the sin in the world increased. But one thing I do know is that God loves us so much that he wants us to spend eternity with him that is why he sent his son Jesus Christ to shed his blood for our sins and if by FAITH we believe we will spend eternity with him.God uses the difficult situations in our lives to make us stronger and to increase our FAITH so that we can trust him to lead us in the direction he wants to take us. Without FAITH there is no hope!
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
