Today, I want to exhort you to believe, even when it does not make sense. When the Lord told Peter to launch into the deep, he said “we have toiled all night but caught nothing; but at the word, we will launch.” There are times when believing does not even make sense.
[Romans 4:17-18 KJV] “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be”
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. We are called to faith and to believe God. I must however, say that there are times when believing God does not make sense. There are moments when believing just does not make sense but it is worth it to still keep believing because;
- God is able to make a way where there seems to be no way.
- Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life;
- There is nothing too difficult for God
- God has a plan for every one of us
- God is faithful to His word and cannot lie.
God is able to make a way where there seems to be no way.
There is no cause for alarm under any condition or situation because God is able to make a way in the wilderness.
[Isaiah 43:18-20 KJV] “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen”.
Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life:
[John 11:25 KJV] “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:”
There is nothing too difficult for God
[Jeremiah 32:17, 27 KJV] “Ah Lord God ! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: [27] Behold, I am the Lord , the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”
God has a plan for every one of us:
[Jeremiah 29:11 KJV] “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.
God is faithful to His word
[1 Thessalonians 5:24 KJV] “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it”.
I have no doubt that you have decided to believe even when it does not make sense to believe.
I love you, stay blessed.
