You Can Count On It Have you ever doubted something? Have you ever had a friend, who you know to be a truthful person, tell you something that you think is just unbelievable? It just seems too good or too far fetched to be true. You want to believe, but truth be told, doubt exists. I remember hearing a missionary tell the story of raising a guy from the dead in Russia. His name is Michael Chowning and he is unbelievable, literally. He tells the story of how this guy was brought before him who was actually dead for 3 days. Michael touched his cold lifeless body and began to pray. He experienced the spirit of God breath life back into this guy with his own eyes. What!?! How!?! Come on Pastor Alex, this sounds too unbelievable. But it is true! Jesus says in his Word that we will see greater miracles than he ever performed and he raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11). So we know this is possible. Yet, I doubt. We doubt. Why? If only I had the faith of a child. I’m reminded of my boys. When I tell them we can go to Dairy Queen for ice cream after dinner, they believe it. In their eyes, when dad says something – it becomes a law that is permanent and binding for future generations! They think that dad’s word is the absolute authority. They have no reason to think otherwise. So it should be with us and our heavenly father. John 8:14 – Jesus said, “You are right that you only have my word. But you can depend on it being true.” Wow! What a statment! My heavenly father says it and I believe it. He sounds pretty convincing to me! Learn to know God’s word, my friend. Then learn to trust it with the faith of a child who was promised ice cream after dinner. You would be surprised how far this will get you. Word… P. Alex posted by Pasta' Alex # 10:35 AM   Comments: Post a Comment << Home |
