“Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.” Hebrews 3:9
The heart of God is looking for your faith in Him. It doesn’t matter how old you are, where you live, or the circumstances in your life.
Faith is placing your trust in God without any proof or evidence of His presence. You can be facing a disaster, in the middle of a crisis, or lacking money to meet your basic needs. Your life might be upside down with no hope in sight.
You don’t look at your life to find faith. You accept and believe in the promises of God. Think about the Israelites who were rescued by the mighty hand of God and personally witnessed the power of God at work. They saw with their own eyes the signs and wonders of God!
However the faith of the Israelites crumbled and they fell into unbelief. They looked at the conditions of their life and forgot about the promises of God. They were taken on what seemed like a journey to nowhere and lacked food, security, and stability. They turned away from God and sought out other gods. The Israelites believed in what they could see and complained they were better in slavery than their present situation. They gave up on God and most of them died in the desert and never entered the Promised Land.
Today God is calling you to trust Him implicitly without any sign or proof. Faith is believing in what you cannot see and trusting God for your every need. Without faith you cannot please God!
Faith is accepting that your life today is under the perfect control of God and not questioning His judgment or wisdom. God wants your faith to be steadfast in Him and to find your encouragement and hope in His Word.
He will never fail you. The promises of God are eternal!
Thought for the day: “Faith is keeping your eyes on Me and breathing in My abundant life. Don’t judge Me based on your concept of time. I work on an eternal clock.”
