As of late this phrase, I believe, has been on my mind, and as a result I have reflected on my thoughts. Do I really believe? I say I do, but would an outsider observing my actions agree? How do I know if I am really believing, or just thinking I do.
As many watched the SuperBowl last night, I can’t help but wonder how many fans really believed the Eagles would win? What I love most about this victory are the players that confessed with their words and actions that they believed and live for Jesus Christ. They also went on to play liked they believed they could win. Their actions backed up their belief!
I then reflected on my own prayer life, and the many answered prayers that God has answered for me. I recognized a pattern that when I write down my prayers, and turn them over to God I don’t stress about them. I then go on about my day and thank God for all of His many blessings that surround me.
It is through this reflection and remembering answered prayers that I am encouraged to keep pressing forward for hopes and dreams that are yet to be seen. I have a history with God. His word is real to me, yet I still struggle with real belief. I have to intentionally go to this place of surrender daily, laying down my concerns, and believe that God hears me. Really believe!
I will frequently keep specific scripture verses that remind me to keep the faith and believe. My desire however is not too have to work so hard at believing, but it seems to be a daily surrender.
I am pleased to report, He has never left or forsaken me, and I know He hears you too! I can’t help but believe it was a God factor that helped the Eagles win as well. What are you believing for? Maybe a lost loved one, healing, health, or financial blessings. I encourage you today to believe in God who loves you more than you can imagine!
Read Matthew 7 and listen to this song and be encouraged to believe!
