Eyes of Faith – Part 1

And Elijah said to his servant, "Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea." And he went up, and after looking said, "There is nothing." And Elijah said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times. I Kings 18:43

There is something which we all ought to learn. No! I am not saying don't give up. Am saying move ahead even in your darkness and get victories. Don't sit and pity yourself because things are not changing or things seem against you. But move ahead and even in that situation get results for yourself.

I have come across many people, who say, "I have faith." but when they don't see things happen as per their plan and their timing they give up. Then they grumble and say, "God has forgotten me. God is remembering my sins and hence, He is not blessing me. God is not answering me because of my sins. God doesn't love me anymore." These are all baseless statement. These are not the truth. The truth is that God is good and He is good all the time. Our situation changes and our outlook towards God changes. Basis our situations our perception towards God changes. When things are fine, we say, "God is good, otherwise God is not good." But the truth is that God is the same, yesterday, today and forever. He was good in the past, He is good in the present, and He will be good in the future, irrespective whether our circumstances remain the same or not. God never changes.

Its like thinking about your friend who have been good to you, and you have experienced it, yet thinking that He is not good only because your current situation is not good. In that situation have faith in your friend and you will realize that your best friend will not leave you. He may take time to help you, not because He can't but because it might not be the right time. Faith is trusting in the ability of the person whom you are depending, knowing, that person is able to do what is promised. Trust in God's word. Trust in God's power to do what He has promised. God bless you.
