TIME FOR FAITH?

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” ― Corrie ten Boom

Are you staring at some uncertainty?

Perhaps there is an opportunity on the horizon, but it comes with some risk and demands some “real faith”.

Maybe there is some writing on the wall that would indicate “change” is coming and that “unknown” has you fearful, apprehensive or “borrowing trouble” like my dear Grandma Winnie used to say.

Or maybe things that were once tightly wound are starting to unravel or at least look a little more thread-bare?

Is it time for some faith?

It is time to “trust that unknown” to GOD?

“Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.” ― Brené Brown

All of us have had times when clarity was scarce; times when we wished GOD would “serve up” the best next answer. 

Yet GOD instead says trust me.

GOD says seek me.

GOD says listen to me.

GOD says have FAITH in me.

GOD says I got this and I have got your best at heart.

Romans 8:28 (LB)

… all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans.

It is kind of funny to me.

We believe we have “needs”.

We “need” to know. We “need” some help. We “need” direction.  We “need” resource. We “need” clarity. We “need” control.

But GOD isn’t motivated by our need.  From His perspective, those have been “covered”.

Philippians 4:19 (AMP)

19 And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches…

What motivates GOD is our faith.

Galatians 3:11

…the righteous will live by faith.

Hebrews 11:6

…It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.

And faith trusts the unknown to the known.

So the question for today is this.

Are you pensively staring at an “unknown future”?

Then is it time to have the faith to trust it to a "known GOD"?

Matthew 17:20

If you have faith as small as a mustard seed…Nothing will be impossible for you.

“True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie.” ― A.W. Tozer

 

I love you all

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND…
