When You Can't See It....Believe It! By Chris Winters

 "So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamore tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey." (Luke 17:6)

  

If faith is equivalent to the size of a mustard seed, can cause a tree to uproot itself and replant itself in the ocean, what can our faith do? "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (II Corinthians 5:7).  As children we've all asked our parents or grandparents for something that we really wanted. We didn't think about what could prevent us from getting it or what bills were due, we just hoped that we'd get it. The faith of a child, doesn't focus on what's going on around them, because they believe that no matter what, parents can make it happen. They’ve set their minds on "it will happen mode." If children believe their natural parents for the impossible, why can't we do that with our Heavenly Father? Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark9:23).

Weeds of doubt try to choke out our faith! It's time to pull up the weeds and stand in faith knowing that all things are possible with GOD. We also must understand that the Lord moves in His timing. That's where the enemy tries to chip away at our faith, hoping that we'll get impatient and try to make things happen on our own. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"(Hebrews 11:1). Even when we can't see it, know that it's already in God's hand waiting on us.

The Victory is yours!
