Stressed Outサンプル

Hebrews 11 is filled with story after story, person after person who trusted God without seeing what they were trusting Him for. Old Abraham and Sarah trusted God for years for a child. Then once they had a child, Abraham was willing to sacrifice that long-awaited son, believing God was so good, He would resurrect him (Hebrews 11:19). Joseph on his deathbed in Egypt talked about his family’s return to the Promised Land. The people walking through the terrifyingly parted Red Sea had faith in each step. The list goes on and on. Our forefathers (and foremothers) believed without seeing, and God commended them for it.

God deeply, deeply values when we trust His goodness in spite of our what-ifs. Faith is precious to Him. And we also have a limited time to express it. When we’re in Heaven, we’ll see God face-to-face. There won’t be any more faith without sight. So right now is the only time we have the opportunity to trust without sight. To trust Him without knowing the explanation. So let’s join our faithful forefathers and foremothers. Let’s choose to trust God and His great goodness when we can’t see what He is up to. He is deeply honored when we do.
