We Believe Without Seeing

Therefore we are always confident. We live by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:6-7).

When you struggle with problems, difficulties and disappointments, or when you have to make crucial decisions, do you trust God to the extent that you are willing to put your life unconditionally in His hands? Are you absolutely confident that whatever He allows to happen to you will work out for your good? Or are you struggling ahead in your own strength until you feel totally defeated? Jesus Christ came to confirm that God loves you without a shadow of doubt. Nobody can argue about His care, help and compassion for you. You are precious in His sight! If this is true, then it is also true that Christ will not allow anything to happen that could hurt you. On the contrary, He wants only what is best for you. When you have this assurance in your heart, you cannot do anything but trust God unconditionally in everything that you undertake. To ensure that you have peace of mind, you have to place yourself, your plans and your problems in the hands of your Savior. Discuss your problems and secret fears with Him in prayer; talk to Him about the important decisions you have to make. Remember at all times that you are talking to someone who graciously calls you His friend. You will experience the living presence of Christ in every situation of life. He will lead you through His Spirit and guide you to find rest and peace of mind. Even if you cannot see the way clearly, your faith will carry you through.

Heavenly Father, lead me every step of the way. Amen.
