Blessed!

^{Luke 1:45} “You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”

I think every believer in Christ that I know, believes that God will do what He said He would do.

His Word proves to be pretty faithful, and Mary was faithful to believe what Elizabeth told her.

But I think if we’re all honest with one another, in the back of our minds reins some doubt.

I’ve heard people say… “Well, we’ll just see what God does.” or… “I sure hope God comes through on this one.” or one more… “Well, the least we can do is pray!”

Blessings from God are often reserved for folks who truly believe.

That’s sometimes a hard pill for people to swallow.

I think there are moments when we forget that, “without faith, it’s impossible to please God.”

We don’t often like the fact that sometimes God’s blessings, are dependent on the purity of heart.

Actually, some of them are though.

The size of our faith I must confess, doesn’t seem to be the real issue here.

(See Matthew 17: 20)

Let’s face it, our faith should in no way be mixed with doubt, at least that’s what my Bible says.

Those who trust God in a big way, will generally find Him to be faithful in a very big way too.

Christmas is about faith and belief all rolled up in one. May your faith grow in a deep way this Christmas…
