Super-natural faith is given a chance to grow during the difficult times in life.
When things are easy, we walk by sight.
When things get difficult…
…we doubt.…we wrestle.
…we wonder “Why?!?”
…we question if God knows what He’s doing???
…we wonder if we’ve taken a wrong step somewhere, and possibly that is what's causing us to feel like we’re stumbling around, feeling lost and in the dark.
…sometimes we are tempted to stop trusting God’s goodness and faithfulness.
But look back…in the Bible.
All the heroes of our faith, the giants of faith itself, all
wrestled with and fought against the most impossible of odds!The 11th chapter of Hebrews (verse 8 to the end of the chapter) lays out a list of some of those wrestlers and stumblers.
Some of them made really poor decisions, but God did not give up on them.
He even still used them in His great plan!
Rahab. Sampson. David. Gideon.
Hebrews 11:40 says “God had planned something better….”
I’m SO glad to hear/read that!!!
Something better!
They chose to trust Him.
They chose to obey.And only after that faithful obedience, did that “something better”, His amazing plan,
continue to unfold in time…unwrapping itself...ever-so-slowly.
Trust Him. Obey.
This great struggle, against mysterious or impossible odds, is how we receive the amazing gift
of growing super-natural faith.
Faith in Him and His amazing plan.
