We as Christians live…in a village located in the hill country between Proof and Faith. Our region and home is called Belief.
Genesis 1:1 ESV “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
John 1:1 ESV “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 3:8 ESV “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear it’s sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
1 Kings 19:9-13 NLT “There he came to a cave, where he spent the night. But the Lord said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ Elijah replied, ‘I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.’ ‘Go out and stand before me on the mountain,’ the Lord told him. And Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.”
2 Timothy 3:16 ESV “All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
John 20:29 ESV “Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Isaiah 7:14 ESV “Therefore the Lord will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” This is one of the forty four prophecies Jesus fulfilled!
Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
The Lord has granted man the ability of choice. We are able to make choices of right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, up vs. down, faith vs. proof, life vs. death. It’s all up to us…what choices are we making? Who’s words are you listening to? We are in a tumultuous season, and every day, every choice we make will make a difference, not only in our world but possibly in the world of someone silently watching us! Food for thought…be blessed today, and thank you for joining me. 🥰
