Just Believe

Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these." John 1:50

What does it take for you to believe? For some, we want the small things like a peaceful day. For others, we want our bodies healed. And for others, we want God to appear to us and give us direction on what to do next. All of these requests fall on the lines of appeasing our flesh. Our flesh doesn’t want to struggle or guess. We want clarity, peace and a life that is pain free. But that’s why many do not believe. God does at times perform these kinds of miracles but God doesn’t need to prove He is God as much as we need to prove we believe He is God. Despite how we feel, what we see or how we think, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” Faith goes beyond the senses to a deep understanding and knowing that He is God in the midst of the hassled day and hurting from the circumstances of life. Faith is believing without seeing. As the Lord asks us today, “do you believe?” If the answer is yes, He will spiritually open your eyes to see in faith what He has for you. He might not show you through a burning bush or through an earthquake, but it’s that still small voice that will testify within your spirit His will and ways for you. Sometimes He says, “Wait.” Other times, He will say, “Go.” But
every time, the Lord Jesus Christ will say, “Just believe.” He knows what’s best. Trust Him today with that issue you want to see God work through so badly. Give it to Him. Lay it down at His feet. Just believe and you will see greater things than these.
