Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
You know, I often think about the plans that God has for each of us, and why we were placed where we are. I have realized that through my own mistakes and somewhat of a checkered past I have been able to connect with those that are still lost a lot better than others.
What this makes me think of is that sometimes we have no idea what we are doing or where we are going, but God has it all figured out, in fact I would say that God has it all planned out.
There are seasons of winning and seasons of preparing… Then, there are the seasons of battles. Sometimes for me personally the seasons of preparing are so difficult as I have a personality that wants things to happen immediately. But in these seasons of preparing I learn patience and a deeper trust in God.
I most certainly forget specific things that God has promised and in these moments I sometimes pray for things that I know full well aren’t meant for me. These lapses makes me feel so foolish when I realize what I am busy doing yet I have so many of them.
I feel that following these words in the opening verse is something that can definitely prevent me from going through these foolish phases and help me better prepare for what ever God has planned for me.
With faith, I can know that I am fully in God’s hands, in His care, and in a place of certain victory. When I get into this place of trusting and patiently relying on God’s plan there is a massive stirring inside my entire spirit. This stirring becomes a faith so deep that there is no waiver, no wonder and no worry, just reliance.
God brought me to it, God will bring me through it. I just need to have that insane kind of faith where someone that does not understand will tell me I am crazy, but that kind of crazy is what brings walls down, and makes giants fall.
