You truly have a privilege! đ€©
Being able to believeâto truly believeâis a privilege. Do you realize that?
No matter where you stand in your faith, the fact that God allowed you to recognize that He exists is not something to be taken for granted. â€ïž Regardless of where you are in your walk of faith, God promises to reveal Himself to you. He wants you to know who He is.
So often, we talk about how we donât hear God. Or how He isnât stepping into our complicated situation right now. We even talk about how sad it is that others donât know Him. Yet we overlook this incredible treasure: that we were allowed to understand that He exists.
Sometimes we are disappointed that we donât hear his voice or see him stepping into our hurting and complicated situations, as we expect him to. Yet, all throughout the Bible, God reminds you of his desire for you to know him. He is ready to make himself visible in your life.
And if God has allowed you to recognize this, then there is a reason for it:
ââYou are my witnesses,â declares the LORD, âand my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he.ââ (Isaiah 43:10, ESV, emphasis mine)
The God who is invisible has allowed you to see that He existsâbecause He wants to become visible through you.
Think about that.
He is invisibleâthrough you, He wants to be seen! đđ»
That is a huge calling. A life mission!
How can this happen, and how do you prepare for it? Start by giving God space in the small things, every day. Intentionally take time to be still and listen to Him.
And, donât read His Word just to say you read it, but let it change you.
Ask yourself in everyday life: âHow would Jesus act right now?â âIs it really right to lose my temper over this?â Be attentive to the people around you whom God places on your heart.
Begin by making changes within your family. For example, pray before meals. Pray with your spouse or partnerâbefore going to sleep and again in the morning.
Not âbecause thatâs just what Christians do,â but because prayer truly has power! đ„
The Bible says: God has allowed you to recognize that He existsâand now He desires that you serve Him.
That is privilege and calling in one. Will you do something with it?
You are a miracle!
