WALK IN FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT

 

It is a cold and blustery day. Much of the nation also feels the chill. Looking out through the window gusting winds are introducing evidence of its existence as the trees and bushes were blown back and forth. Turning my eyes back to the computer screen, I realized that electricity was key in providing the power to make all of this tech stuff work. Neither the wind, nor the electricity or even GRAVITY was visible. They are INVISIBLE. Did I doubt for a moment that these were not real, or impactful? So what's the deal believing in God?

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are likewise invisible yet man seems less willing to see or attempt to comprehend the evidence and deduce the existence and power of GOD. Even when it is YOU, your very body, eyes, hands, ears and mind that renders the most compelling witness that HE IS as the Holy Bible records: Though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him,you learn to believe as a child. That is to say, BELIEVE as a child believes. For we walk by faith, not by sight-1Pet 1:8, 2Co 5:7

Through the physical witness of the compelling evidence all around us, and in all that we see, and experience, we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. He gave us FAITH and in that FAITH we find that God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.-1Jn 4:16    We can be ever so very thankful for this gift, We love, because He first loved us.-1Jn 4:19

In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,...to the praise of His glory.-Eph 1:13-14

God's merciful gift of FAITH when leaned upon, builds the foundation that strengthens belief. We are weak in our doubts, not accepting what the eyes cannot see, nor the hands feel.    Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."-Joh 20:29    I have never seen GRAVITY but I certainly have tangled with it numerous times!!   Every beat of your heart is witness to HIS awesome power of Creation.

Leaders of world nations should be strongly cautioned to foster and pray that God give you strong FAITH so as not to be on the wrong side of God.    Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.   Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling.   Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!-Psa 2:10-12
