Hebrews 11:6 (King James Version)
6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
I often think of the times- I did not have faith in the Lord and His abilities to help me through MY BIG problems or issues. But I came to him, asking Him for help, answers and often times direction, obviously never believing that I would actually get an answer. I always had hope, but never truly understanding, that I needed faith more than hope. I needed to know,understand and stand on what the Word said. Believing that 1 John 3:1
1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
I am a daughter of Christ. If I truly understood that in my heart, to my soul would I ever doubt that HE is working things out? Being a parent myself- I always do what is best for my children. Why wouldn't the Lord?
Why is it so hard to understand- that His actions, decisions, and direction, are better than what I would do. Is it because I can not see Him? I know He is there, I can feel Him, He speaks to me, and through me.
Lord-
I ask that you be with me. I ask that you help me to be strong in faith. Help me to know that you have the answer to all things before I ask. Help me to know that you have placed desires in my heart and you will meet those desires.
I praise you Lord for loving me. I praise you my Father for calling me your own.
In Jesus Name- Amen
