Life doesn’t always make sense. We don’t always realize how everything works. We don’t always understand why people act and react as they do. We can’t always even comprehend ourselves. Our emotions often change like the wind.
But there is one sure thing in this uncertain world: God’s great love for us. No matter what, He is there.
Watching.
Protecting.
Waiting for an invitation into our situations, our moments, our lives.
Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.
Faith is not always tangible, fathomable, or comprehensible. Yet, we can completely trust God in faith.
Why?
We can hold Him to His promises:
When we wonder how to deal with hard times, He will use everything for my good. (Romans 8:28)
When the future looks bleak, He plans to give me hope for the future (Jeremiah 29:11)
When we don’t know what to do, He will make my path clear before me. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
I just need to call on Him, trust Him, and have faith. Easier said than done.
In those moments when I need help finding faith, I need to ask God to supply it. And He will.
He is there, He sees, and He knows. He is in control.
How about you? What promises do you cling to as you navigate daily life? How to do find faith when there seems no reason to have hope?
Thank You Heavenly Father for reminding us through Your promises that You are indeed there. You love us. You see us. And, you know. You are always working and in control. Please help us each to hold onto You in faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
