A reminder for
today
Through faith we
understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3)
I am in the eye of the storm and I am holding on to a pole in
the ground as the wind roars and rushes around me. I can’t see a thing as the
wind continues to pull at me trying to release my grip and pull me up into the darkness.
I am afraid as I cling to the last bit of life and strength left in me. How am I
going to make it? Why do I believe?
Do l believe because it is expected of a person that grew up
in a Christian home? Do I believe because of all the facts and evidence I have as
proof of the existence of my God? Or do I believe because of the direction my life
is in?
My faith is the substance of things hoped for and the
evidence of things not seen. My faith is the proof I see and the proof I have. My
faith is the direction of my life and how God has taken me from where I was to
where I am at now. My faith is not perfect, but my faith is growing. I believe mainly
out of personal experience and the grace I have seen in my life.
I believe fully and completely in God and the fact that I have
all the evidence of His existence does not outweigh the relationship I have with
Him and the impact He has on my life. I believe not only because I know, but because
I see. God is more real to me than the people in this world. He is the creator
of all and the only one I believe in. He is my all.
I have seen how God changes people and how He can impact a
life. When God enters people get purpose and direction like never before. My life
has been given so much direction despite the amount of resistance the enemy
brings. When I find myself in a place where I feel lost and defeated I can feel
how He comes and picks me up again and renew me.
The wind continues to pull and jerk me as I cling to the
pole for life. It is cold and wet as it started to rain. The storm seems to be
eternal as my strength fades away. For a brief moment I opened my eyes and all I
could see is the darkness that surrounds me. Even though I am broken and exhausted
I keep holding on. Suddenly the wind stopped, and the rain was gone, and a
rainbow surrounded me.
Jesus said He is the light in this world. We are often so overwhelmed
by the world that we do not see the light. Often, we miss the light because we
do not want to open our eyes and sometimes we miss the light because we are too
tired. Sometimes we just need to be quiet for a moment and allow the Holy Spirit
to do His work. Sometimes the rainbow is around us and all we must do is to know
it is there.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
