What are you allowing to steal your joy? What are you allowing to rob you of your peace? What are you allowing to cause you to walk in doubt and unbelief? What is it that you allowing to cause you to walk in fear? Is it bills? Is it sickness and disease? Is it the death of a loved one? Is it the fear of the unknown? What has so much power over you that it is causing you not to have faith and trust in what God has already said He would do for you, in you, and through you?
What is it that you believe faith is? If you have to see the result before you receive it, that’s not faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says that we are to walk by faith and not by sight. It’s easy to believe what we can see. We tend to not ask questions when we can see something. Actually, in most cases, we take things at face value and accept them as they are. Should we really be doing that? If we understand what the Word says in Hebrews 11:1 and 11:6, we understand that faith itself is substance. It is something we can hold on to and it says that it is the evidence of what we cannot see. So looking at a situation in our lives that is not the best should not be acceptable in our sight. We have to have faith and believe that things will change. We have to believe that if our hope and trust is in God and if we seek Him diligently, He will reward our faith.
Romans 1:17 says the just shall live by faith. It pleases God when we walk in faith because walking faith says we trust and believe Him. So do what you can to please God by staying in faith. Believe what He has said in His Word and trust Him to perform His Word in your life even when times get hard. Don’t take everything at face value. Know that God is almighty and all-powerful. What you see now concerning your situation in life, God can change.
