=FAITH IS NEVER THAT REASONABLE=
Hebrews 11: 1-2 (NIV)
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not
see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we
understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is
seen was not made out of what was visible.
Remember Champion, you are called to live by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7) and
it is faith that both pleases God (Hebrews 11:6) and activates His promises
in your life and in the situations you may be facing. One of the problems
with faith is that it is never very reasonable (able to be reasoned). God
has not called you to be reasonable, meaning He doesn't want you to be
continually trying to reason how and if what He has promised will come true.
He has called you to have faith by simply believing with childlike trust
that He does not lie and will come through on His promise.
It is when we are always trying to reason things with earthly understanding
that we get ourselves all worked up or worse, into the territory of fear.
It's time to stop doing that, because if God has promised you something you
do not need to be able to reason it out for it to be true. Just simply
believe.
Think of today's scripture. It talks about creation and the universe being
formed out of things not visible. Try and work that one out. Most of what
God creates and does for us does not make sense because He does not live
under the gravity of reason that we do. Remember, He instructs us to only
believe because all things are possible to those who do so (Mark 10:27).
God has called us to be faithful (full of faith) and not reasonable (able to
reason). Faith in God will often defy what you have reasoned to be possible.
The question here is, "Do you want to live today in that which is reasonable
or that which faith in an uncontainable God produces?" Go on champion, get
a Word from His Book for your situation that is higher than what you can
naturally reason and then choose to be faithful. Be full of faith towards
His promise and see what an unlimited, zero-gravity God can do.
Have a great day
