Believe
I find it interesting that during
the holiday season the easiest movies to find are about believing in Santa
Claus. Children and adults alike, are to believe in Santa in order to have the
spirit of the season. When you look at the concept of believing, it is a
beautiful thing. What we believe directs our lives. I think this is what these
movies are trying to portray. Our beliefs
can lead us in the right direction or can lead us astray. I think everyone
wants to believe in something good and beautiful, but it depends on the road
you have been dealt in life on whether you can. Positive thinking is just not
enough, we must believe in something, it’s called hope. Hope of a good future, hope
that there is still good in people. Placing our hope in the right place is the
key and believing in something bigger that what we have right now is vital.
Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, “If You can? All things are
possible to him who believes.”
John 6:47 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal
life”
Ephesians 1:18-19
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so
that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the
glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of
His power toward us who believe.
When we look at these verses, it
is easy to see that God is asking us to believe in Him, but it goes much deeper
than that. He is asking us to entrust everything we have to Him along with our
belief. Our everyday life and our future. I think it is easier for us to trust
God with our future, where we are going after we leave this life, but I think
it is much harder for us to trust Him with everything in the moment of here and now. There is a
hope in His calling for our lives. When we let go of the everyday worries of life
and fix our hearts on Him, wonderful things happen. I’m not saying that life
becomes perfect, but our perspective on life changes and that changes
everything. I pray today that you will find comfort in Him, that you will come
to know His precious plan for you and the hope that only lies in His presence.
He is the reason for the season!!!
