Believe For It <\/strong><\/p>\n

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. <\/em>Hebrews 11:1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever been in the middle of a crisis when what you believe about God mattered more than ever? Whether through nature, people, a timely word, or seemingly random occurrences, God is constantly at work, reminding us of His presence, His love, and His faithfulness in ways we may not always recognize at first. But when you are in the middle of a crisis, what you believe right now matters. Hebrews 11:1 begins with two powerful words: \u201cNow faith is\u2026\u201d Faith is what you hold on to in this present moment. It is what gives you the courage to keep standing when everything around you tells you to give up. It is trusting God when you don’t have all the answers and believing He is working even when you cannot see what He is doing.<\/p>\n

In her song Believe For It, CeCe Winans reminds us that our faith is not limited by what we see or by what others say is possible:<\/p>\n

\u201cMove the immovable<\/em><\/p>\n

Break the unbreakable<\/em><\/p>\n

God, we believe<\/em><\/p>\n

God, we believe for it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As believers, the Bible tells us not to \u201clook at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen (2 Corinthians 4:18). \u201cNow\u201d faith stakes its claim on \u201csomething\u2026even if we do not see it\u201d (Heb 11:1). Paul says, \u201cWe walk by faith, not by sight\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:7). The solution you are looking for will not come as you think it should but keep holding onto hope for the journey you are on is all a part of the process. Remember, no detail is too small for God to use as a conduit of His grace and a testament to His endless care for us.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today<\/strong>: Father, today I choose to believe You in the middle of what I cannot understand. When I am overwhelmed by what I see, help me remember who You are. When circumstances seem immovable, remind me that nothing is too difficult for You. When I cannot see the way forward, give me the faith to take the next step. Lord, strengthen my now faith. Help me not to live by what I see, but to trust You for what I cannot yet see. Today, I believe. God, I believe for it. In Jesus’ name, amen.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
