A short and punchy video

I was really touched by a short but powerful video I watched on Sunday night. The topic centred around the fact that we are not bound by our past. Over the past year or so I've been on a journey to acknowledge and understand certain issues from my past that had plagued me but I found that just understanding these issues does not necessary give you the tools to move past them. Acceptance is important but it does not produce a desired result of walking free from that issue.

The video explored the concept that we not only need to recognise the issues but believe that we have the ability to overcome them. Belief is a key component to opening ourselves up to learning the skills we need to change our behaviours.

I believe this is what the writer of Hebrews 11:6 was communicating with these words, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

If we don't first believe that God exists, then we need proceed no further with our faith, but if we believe that God exists, this gives us a foundation to build our faith on. Second to that we must believe that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. We cannot have faith to receive anything from God if we don't believe He will provide that which we ask for.

Whatever you are believing God for, be it provision or strength to overcome painful past hurts, know that as you come to God, He definitely hears you and as you place your faith in Him, He will provide for you according to your need.
