God will not do miraculous things at every beck and call by simply believing He will do it. Believing is knowing that God is in control through the good and the bad, the peace and the chaos, life and death, sickness and in health. If God were to just heal us whenever we ask in belief then our faith would never be strengthened because we would always ask in belief and get whatever we want. Where's the faith in that? As it is God allows times for miracles and He allows times of testing; there are times when He's silent and times when He speaks louder than life. All of this so we can grow to trust HIM rather than ourselves that ALL things (not some things) will be good in HIS time. When going through testing, instead of praying and waiting for a miracle pray for strength, perseverance and faith to remain focused on Him no matter what the outcome may be. <><

Pastor StephenSnippets are what pops in my head while having my daily quiet time with God. I write it down to maybe encourage, challenge or inspire others to read God's word. Please feel free to share your snippets as well. Enjoy and God bless! Archives
