“Discerning Faith”
by Dona Hake
I love this quote from Francious DeFenelon…
“Faith discerns God behind all the circumstances that try to hide Him.
Faith also holds you in a state of uncertainty.”
Faith also holds you in a state of uncertainty.”
Many times we can find our hearts in unbelief simply because our eyes are too focused on our circumstances. The more we look at our circumstance the more real and powerful that circumstance seems. Behind the circumstance God is seeing an opportunity for His hand to graciously move in our lives. Many times our human nature hates to be in a place of uncertainty. We want to get through the trial and get it over with. Even in the midst of a trial, God is looking to work a new thing in our heart by His love and tender instruction.
Hebrews 11:1 “Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see.” The God that asks us to live by faith is so ready to perform that which He said He would do, all we need to do is believe! May we live in that place of assurance and expectancy as we believe Him who has begun a wonderful work in our life!
