God's Faithfulness

Wow, this is my first official Monday blog post - a little late, almost Tuesday, but it's here.

I heard this quote today that really struck a chord in my heart. "Don't doubt in the dark what God showed you in the light."
I think that this is a challenging quote to all Christians. We are doubters, just like Thomas the disciple. No matter how perfect we think we are, no matter how long we've been a Christian, we will always doubt until the day Jesus comes back to get us. What can help us in our doubt is being focused on God and His faithfulness. He is faithful no matter what.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail. 
 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness. 

 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.” 

 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
    to the one who seeks him; 

 it is good to wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.

 -Lamentations 3:22-26

If God has shown you the path that He wants you to take it will be incredibly obvious. He is not out there to trick us, in fact that's what Satan likes to do. If you are prayerfully and faithfully seeking God's will for your life then you just need to listen and keep taking one step at a time. God doesn't often give us the whole picture before He sets us on our life journey. He likes for us to have to lean on Him, because that is the only way that we will ever truly live. God's faithfulness is great and He is full of great love for us. 

You will be okay. The light at the end of the tunnel might be dim but it is there. He will find you where you are if you call out to Him. 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

-2 Corinthians 4:18

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
