[What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! (Psalm 27:13 )
God has breathed hopes and dreams bigger than ourselves into our beings; whispered from on High words of promise straight to our hearts, promises that in the natural may seem impossible. But, He has planted that hope in your heart beloved for a reason; it is the very song that sings back to you when you have forgotten. When all else around you seems desolate and bleak, it is the melody that moves you and reminds you that indeed, you have a faithful Father who loves you and delivers.
Our Faith pleases God and fuels us; disbelief on the other hand, is a dry and barren place. It sucks the life giving energy and joy right out of us. It causes us to become inactive and at times, begin backsliding in our faith. Because of this, the enemy of our soul is hard at work each opportune moment to keep us there.
In the Bible we read of everyday people with visions, dreams and prophetic words spoken over their lives that seem impossible. A young virgin believes she will carry and birth the Son of God; Savior of the world. An elderly man believes his barren wife; well into her years, will conceive a child and make him a father of many nations. In the natural, these people had every reason not to believe. But in His time, God fulfilled those promises.
What dreams has God placed in your heart? Do you ever doubt that you will see the fulfillment of those dreams? At times, do you begin to question God or yourself? Are these uncertainties causing you to backslide in your faith?
Let this be your confirmation! Keep going! Never give up! Never stop pressing toward the good life God has for you! Never cease being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it out to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6) Fight the good fight of faith until the very end friend! let people look back on your life and the way you chose to live and love and believe and let them say “Wow! That was one hell of an amen!” (Brantly Gilbert)
Let these words breathe Life and awaken those promises within you! Let them be the hand that winds your heart back up and allows your own, unique song of hope to sing to you once again! Dance! Live! Laugh! Love! Create! Build! Encourage! Dream! Breathe! Be! And don’t you dare stop believing!
Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord. (Psalm 27:14 )
