Do We Believe?

Do We Believe?

Do we believe God is good by what we see or do we believe God is good because of who He is?

This life is filled with circumstances that will leave us questioning or even denying God’s goodness if we live by what we see, rather than by faith in what God has promised.

The choice we face is a daily one. We can choose to either trust what we see and define what’s good for ourselves--and grow angry and impatient with God and doubt His goodness, or we can live by faith in a crucified Savior and let Him define what’s good for us, even if it means exercising our faith muscles as we choose to trust Him over what we can see and feel.

The decision we make on that one pivotal point will determine the level of our faith and the degree to which we truly apprehend what we profess to believe.

Indeed, if we determine the goodness of God by what we as mere mortals can discern of Him, we are relinquishing our ability to see eternal truth based upon worldly understanding.

That erroneous decision on our part will cost us dearly, for Heavenly truth is not determined by temporal circumstances.
