Not Seeing, but Believing

Queries:
Are radio waves seen?
Can you see gravity?
Can you see the wind?

Answer:
No and yet we know they exist.

The same thing goes for God. Just because you cannot see Him does not mean He doesn't exist.

You cannot always see a prayer answered, but that does not mean God is not listening. God is always working behind the scenes in your behalf. He may not answer it in your timing and may not answer it the way you would like it answered. God is God and He knows what He is doing.

We have become a society that wants everything instantaneously and God does not necessarily do everything with a snap of a finger---though He could. We need to trust and be faithful enough to wait upon the Lord.

Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Romans 4:17b
"God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;"

You will see in 2 Kings 6:8-17, that Gehazi, Elisha's servant, saw things with his natural eyes and believed the enemy out numbered them. Elisha then asked God to open Gehazi's eyes. He was then able to see with his spiritual eyes (heart) and realized that God's army far out numbered those of their enemy.

Our normal Christian life should be waiting patiently upon the Lord to bring the things of the spiritual into the natural. It is a faith walk not a sight walk.

Remember,"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 3:8

Be blessed my friends,
Shifra
