His Hand is Moved by Faith
By: Daniel N. Brown
Have you experienced very many disappointments in your
life? If you’re human, you have. Through repeated disappointment,
we can become conditioned to expect more disappointment,
therefore, displaying a lack of faith.
Hebrews 11:6 says, "Without faith it is impossible to please Him:
for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is
a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." We can see by this
verse that we cannot please God unless we walk by faith.
So, how do you continue to walk by faith if you have been
repeatedly disappointed? After all, why get your hopes up, right?
The dictionary defines faith as trust, belief without proof,
promise, and loyalty.
Ask yourself these questions; Am I really trusting God? Do I know
that He has my best interest in mind? Do I really believe His
promises from His Word are true and they were given for me? Am I
loyal to God and defend Him when the devil tries to tell me that
God doesn’t care about my needs and desires?
These are some serious things to consider. It’s easy to just say
whatever you think God wants to hear, but He is not fooled by
words. He knows the heart.
If you come to God, you must believe that He is God Almighty! And
He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Have faith in Him!
Psalm 62:5 says, “My expectation is in the Lord.”
We must be like the woman who begged Jesus to deliver her
daughter in Matthew 15. She said, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son
of David” (She knew who He was and she was diligently seeking
Him!) Jesus said to her, “Great is your faith! Let it be to you
as you desire” (Matthew 15:28).
The past does not have to equal the future. No matter how many
disappointments you may have faced, He is still God and He loves
you. He wants to perform miracles in your life but you must trust
Him. His hand is moved by faith.
