Believe in God, Believe God

May 8th, 2025

SCRIPTURE: "8 I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. " Revelation 3:8,10

An early church affirmation stated, "Day by day... Oh dear Lord three things I pray: to see Thee more clearly, love Thee more dearly, and to follow Thee more nearly - day, by day." Very succinctly it connects with what could be thought of as a Christian vision statement; encouraging the most of our focus and disposition to be reliant upon God and godliness, by which, early in the Good Book, as well as it's end, we find the faithfulness of God to be with us, to deliver us, to save us.

Here we see two realities: HE is faithful towards us, and lavishes upon us mercy and grace. Secondly, our experiencing HIM that way means we approach HIM in the way that HE offers [not on our own terms]. We should believe in God, but also believe God.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, in Jesus' precious name, forgive our presumptions that have us so prone to drifting away from what You have blessed us to have as a daily vision. I know that I can easily major in the minors, and often not stay in my lane. I thank You Lord for Your patience. Help me steer clear of those prideful tendencies that I may bless You, and those whom You put in my path, and help me to distinguish walls from bridges. Thank You God. Amen.
