“Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” [JOHN 20:29 NASB]
In spite of tears and pain and death we believe that the God who made us all is infinitely wise and good. As Abraham staggered not at the promises of God through unbelief but was strong in faith, giving the glory to God, and was fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able to perform, so do we base our hope in God alone and hope against hope till the day breaks. We rest in what God is. I believe that this alone is true faith. Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.
The testimony of faith is that, no matter how things look in this fallen world, all God’s acts arrive in perfect wisdom. The incarnation of the Eternal Son in human flesh was one of God’s mighty deeds, and we may be sure that this awesome deed was done with a perfection possible only to the Infinite.
To understand what it means to have true faith read Hebrews 11, which catalogs those who risked all by trusting in God’s promises and performance. No matter how disastrous circumstances appeared, they trusted God fully.
Lord, teach me to fully believe that you are infinitely wise and good, and able to perform your promises. Amen. [Faith That Matters]
