Hope in what we dont see

Sorry I have not been posting lately. I will be getting some new recipes up as soon as I can. Today I'm blogging to tell you I completed my 21 day challenge! Although some days were tough, I had the hope and faith in myself that I could do it. I enjoy a good challenge that entitles me to work my mind. Since doing this 21 day challenge I got to thinking allot about this thing we call faith. I've been thinking that everything in my life requires some kind of faith, hope, or trust. When I became a christian I no longer depended on myself. I placed my hope and trust in Jesus Christ. So wither you are a believer or not don't you realize you have faith? I believe the difference in my faith that comes from God and others is mine is in someone that says my faith will not disappoint, but the faith of the world will lead to a sick heart. Aren't we tired of having a sick world full of depression, anxiety, heart decease and so on? I'm not saying Christians dont face the struggles of life. I'm saying we have a super natural healer that works miracles and that wont lead us asstray. God has been showing up in areas of my life that I have very little faith in, so He is contantly building my faith muscle. When God grants us the gift of faith we gain more and more peace in our lives. Sometimes what it takes to grow this muscle we call faith hurts, because we can't see what our Father is doing. Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." We all need a greater hope then ourselves and Jesus Christ is my top choice. I have placed my hope in many other things the past 25 years, and He has never let me down. Not saying I have not grown discouraged, or dissipointed because Gods timing is way differnet from ours most of the time. This is where we have got to practice faith, trust, and patience. Romans 8:25 says "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
God will do things in our lives that feels like forever. but in this time of patience God is doing something supernatrually to our heart to prepare us for whatever it is He is up to. Theres a process that we walk through that grows us up and we get to turn from old ways, and go to Gods way which does not dissipoint. Habakkuk 2:3 says "This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed." and 2 peter 3:9 "The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

So if you are in a place of confussion or doubt, trust Jesus. Let him work out your faith. When I started my 21 day challange I didnt see the end result. I had faith I would make it. The same goes for our walk. We do not see how things are going to work, and how things look for us at times, but we do have a greater hope that knows. So today put your trust where it is secure and watch and see what God does.
