In his last devotion before David Wilkerson passed away last week he focused on belief and faith without sight (James 20:29). You can read it here. David summed it up this way
God has never failed to act, but in goodness and love. When all means fail – his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world
I often get discouraged when God doesn’t seem to answer my prayers. I think I’m pretty good at believing but I get discouraged when I don’t see the results. What I do know though is there are lots of things I pray for that are answered that I don’t see or even know about. Why do I know this? Simple, I have faith, and it seems like something God would do because it is all really about him extending his kingdom and not really at all about me.
After all, my faith is about being sure of what I hope for and certain of what I do not see (Hebrews 11:1).
So what are you certain about – what you see or what is unseen?
Beyond Belief
Do you see today
The answers to your long prayers
Do you hope to see
When all hope seems lost
It’s not because you are blind
You trust beyond hope
The enemy will
Make you believe that your God
Has not answered you
Blessed are your prayers
Know that your prayers never fail
When all hope seems lost
For if you don’t hear
The answer to your long prayers
Know this, you are heard
You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen ~ John 20:29.
