Faith 2

=)

If you're read my previous post I guess some of you could understand a struggle going inside my heart between doubts and faith in believing in my prayer... after posting that post I guess I went into a time of searching and seeking, going thru the old videos I have, videos that I've always shown in church that inspired people, but at times like these I guess I myself need an inspiration~~

But then again, I came across this video, in which the preacher just talked a little about Isaiah 40, but he didn't really focus much on it, so it got me curious, and then I opened up Isaiah 40 to read it myself... the beginning part didn't really capture my attention, but this was the part of the verse that really touched me...

Isaiah 40:27-31

27Why do you say, O Jacob,
and complain, O Israel,
"My way is hidden from the Lord;
my cause is disregarded by my God"?

28Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
The Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and His understanding no one can fathom.

29He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not be faint

It's a really interesting yet powerful verse for me, that in our life as though sometimes it might be too hard and it even feels like we do not have the strength to keep going on... God gives a promise that if we were to place our hope in Him, to believe in Him, he would give us enough strength to keep going on...

He doesn't just give us a rose garden and everything's A-OK, sure He can and He does do that sometimes, but it's through our hardest times that we learn to put our trust in Him, and to see how He reveals Himself to us to give us wings to soar, enough strength to keep going on.. why?? Because we have a universe making God, He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. THAT'S the God that we serve, and that's the God that comforted me last night with His word.

You know... somehow after that, along with listening to some music, kinda interesting how things flowed as I felt the healing happening inside my heart, and after that I just felt that the burdens were lifted, worries disappeared, and what's best... I felt my faith rising above the doubts!!

Right now I don't really worry much, but rather at a moment like this I just feel the feeling to believe, to really have faith and not doubt anymore =)

Kinda weird how God works in the lives of His people, but hey... this is the God that we serve, personal and different to every one of His creations~~~ =]
