Today’s Devotional Written By A Young Woman Who Is Inspired: Tracy Koweh
Ripley’s Believe It or Not….
Hebrews 11:1 (New Living Translation)
1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see
I’ve discovered that the break room in my office has turned from gossip central to talk about Him town. Yesterday a co-worker and I were conversing about how you have to pretty much be crazy to be a Christian. Nothing in a normal mind can fathom the miracles in the Bible. Science would say it’s impossible to live inside of a whale’s stomach for days and then simply be spit out on land. People will say it’s impossible to touch a flame and not get burned, yet along be tossed in a pit of fire and come out unharmed.
We discussed how if we tried to make sense of the Bible while living here on Earth, would we surely get frustrated and give up on our walk. I love the title of the TV show “Ripley’s Believe It or Not”, because that’s the exact attitude God has. You either believe Him or not. You have to have faith to believe that Jesus not only raised a man from the dead, but that he too died and rose again. You must have faith in Christ to believe He died so that we may live a life with a direct lifeline to the Father.
If our everyday lives we do crazy things without even thinking. We turn on the shower and trust water will flow from the pipes. We drive through tunnels and bridges and trust that we won’t drown or fall over. We turn the key in the ignition and trust that our car will start. We do these things not seeing where the water is coming from, if the cement holding the tunnels/bridges together are secure, and without looking under the hood before turning the key. How crazy is it for us to trust in all of these manmade things, and then question God.
Today as we head into the weekend let us begin to just TRUST God. Even when we can’t see Him or understand Him. The choice is yours to make……….Believe Him or Not.
