Faith in the Unseen: Trusting God’s Promises

Sometimes, we don’t receive the blessing because we don’t believe it is possible. 

These verses stuck out to me as I read my Bible this morning. 

Romans 4:20-21 KJV

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform

When we are strong in our faith, we glorify God. Believing that God is able to do the things He promised us helps us walk in faith even when things seem dark. We can’t shine a light on God to others if we constantly doubt the Lord. 

God will show us things to increase our faith. However, we must believe Him when He shows us. 

God has big plans for my life. He showed me what He would do, which scared me to death. While I want blessings, I’m also afraid of the next level. I had been really struggling with it all. So, one Sunday, God put it on my heart to ask my family to pray for me. I started asking for prayer and told them what God had shown me. I never meant to tell anyone about the things God showed me, but as the spirit of God moved, it all spilled out. 

Afterward, I couldn’t believe I had shared it all. The enemy jumped all over me, trying to create doubt in my mind about it all. With a troubled heart, I asked God to give me a sign or reassurance to help my faith. I had been looking but hadn’t received anything. 

As I frosted my Thanksgiving cake, I realized that I needed more icing and to go to the store. When I got in my vehicle and started driving, tears started pouring. I began to pray about what God had shown me and asked Him if it was His will to make it happen and, if not, to remove the desire from me. 

On my way home from the store, I looked into the sky and saw the rainbow prism God often uses to communicate with me. I sobbed, this time in tears of gratitude because I knew it would happen. 

In one moment, God increased my faith. I don’t know how God will make it happen. I don’t when He will do it. But I know for sure that He will.
