Where's my Faith??

Sometimes it’s so hard to believe that everything will be ok when circumstances around you tell you that everything is not ok.

We all go through those battles in life when our hearts want to believe that good things will happen but our minds reason and evaluate the situations in our lives and they just tell us that the things we hope for won’t ever happen. 

So what do you do to quiet your mind and listen to your heart ...

What do you do to believe again?...

Hebrews 1:11 says:

 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. (NLT)

But where do we get confidence, hope and assurance from? 

Our abilities, money or any “good thing” in us might give us some confidence.

But what happens when our abilities and our money can’t solve a situation?

The confidence, hope and assurance that we need comes from knowing God.

Is not just about knowing that He is good and that He loves you. It’s about being so close to Him that you can “taste and see that He is good”!!! it’s about having a conviction of His Love!!! When you have this conviction you have confidence because you KNOW that He has every situation of your life under control. 

When you Know Him you also know there’s no problem or situation bigger than Him. 

So how do you get to know Him? He wants us to seek Him with our whole hearts (Jeremiah 29:13) and He wants us to take time to listen to HIs voice..

The bible says in Romans 10:17 that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

IF WE TAKE TIME TO HEAR HIS WORDS THESE IS THE KIND OF THINGS WE WILL HEAR:

-[He] is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us Ephesians 3:20

-God’s will for you, is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2

-I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:11 

-He has made everything beautiful in its time. Ec. 3:11

-we are more than conquerors through him who loved us...neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God.. Romans 8:37-39

-HIS LOVE NEVER FAILS!!!!!!!!! 1Co. 13:8

So when problems come or when life just doesn’t look they way we would want it to look , instead of wasting time focusing on our problems or situations we have to decide to focus on God, on His goodnes, His power and His Love. Only by doing this we will have the confidence, hope and assurance that we need to know that EVERYTHING will be OK !!!
