What are we doing in the moments when we don’t know what’s going to happen. What are we doing in the moments where what we are seeing isn’t looking too good. It’s like time and time again, God is constantly speaking and we aren’t listening… We forget all the promises in the Bible. We forget all the things God has warned us about in his word. We forget what he has told us is to come and what we should do while it happens. We forget all the truths that God has given to us… I am so passionate about this topic because this season has been hard guys. I’ve been living in moments where my faith is being extremely tested. We say we believe in God and who he is, but when we are tested with it we fail. The truth is we don’t always have an answer… but one truth that will remain is that Jesus is the truth, the way and life. God is nearer than he’s ever been. He does not forsaken us, we forsake him because of our circumstances/unbelief. Everything that we go through isn’t shocking to him, he’s seen it all!!! He’s omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Our God sees all things and knows all things. Now what is our job or duty when we are in the midst of adversity? To stay fixed on him, on his truth, on his word and who he is. Just because man fails it does not mean God has failed. Our first mistake is putting our faith/hope on man. God is not man, he is perfect in all his ways. He doesn’t change like we human beings do. I thank God for this season, although it’s been a rough season, he’s been through it all with me. He’s exposed a lot to me about my faith and heart. He’s brought to light the things in me that need fixing… Listen, we won’t always understand why things happen. But if we stay fixed on Jesus, I promise we will come out even more victorious than we already are. I’ve been saying it for a while, more than us getting what we’ve been praying for, he’s more fixed on the posture of our heart. The truth is that many of us say a lot of things, but when push comes to shove we reveal the opposite of what we say we believe. Our actions don’t match our faith. A lot of us prove that our faith is dead, because if we truly believed… our faith would be backed up by our works. I think that sometimes our faith needs to be tested, because it truly reveals the state in which our hearts are in… In the midst of our adversities we cannot forget about who our Father is. We cannot forget the things he has stated and repeatedly taught us in his word. We must not forget everything he has taught us through the course of our lives, because we need these teachings for ourselves and those around us.

This verse…. “This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me. ‘And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men” (Matthew‬ ‭15‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬).
I don’t know about you, but that verse is so powerful! If you read that chapter it’s literally how we act sometimes… We say we believe and follow Gods truth, but what we really follow is this world’s indoctrination. Let’s follow God truly and walk in his truth, believing in who he says he is.
