Crystal Ball vs. Faith

I had this whole other post planned for today, but change of plans!

1 Peter 1:8
Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious joy.

I think this scripture speaks for itself. Amazing stuff right there! I heard this at church over the weekend.

Today I have a doctors appt., and if ya'll would be praying I would appreciate it. I'll explain further later. But today even without seeing him, I choose to believe and have faith in a God that is true to his word. Today I will carry around with me joy in the midst of so much uncertainty. I've totally learned that when you're trying to figure out this thing called life on your own, it totally just leaves you even more confused. So just put your whole faith and trust in God, and he's got it covered.

I often tell people that I wish I had a crystal ball, so I could look into my future and see how everything is going to pan out. But the more I think about it, how fun would that be? If we knew everything that was coming, where would the excitement be, and that would kind of spoil the fun for God in allowing our destiny to unfold.

He delights in us so much, and takes pleasure in giving us the desires of our hearts and meeting our every need.

So today, if you need to, cling on to that scripture. Whatever the case maybe, there is no circumstance too big or too small to bring to him. Though you may have never seen him, he's seen you, and he loves you, and though you may have never seen him, he believes in you, even at those times when you don't believe in yourself!

And if you have to choose between a crystal ball or faith...

Choose faith!
