The facts of faith

Are you like me where you are tired of the facts? I have stopped counting the encounters that I have had with people where they have told me why in no uncertain terms that this idea, a certain vision, or a dream that I have will not come to pass.
The hard part is that you know they are right. Worse is that you have been trying not to think of all these variables, which they so insensitively brought up. As I pondered over the message for the month I realized that the answer is easy for all the naysayers. Simply agree with them. See you and I cannot deny the facts. It is clear that we cannot achieve God’s plan for our lives. Further, it is evidently clear that we don’t know what we are doing? Just think about all the blunders that you have made in your life….see what I mean? Only God truly knows what he is doing, and thank him for the bit of wisdom he bestows us.
My point here is that you need to free yourself up from trying to ignore the facts. See the facts help me realize even more than ever before that I need God. In fact, God is one fact that all my naysayers won’t deny. Even if they are not Christian, they typically have a God factor. All you have to do is get to know your God facts. Yes there is a problem….a situation….a mountain. But what has God told you about that situation? What does his word say? I bet you if you spent more time in the word than worrying about the negative facts, you will begin to see things God’s way. Yes visions must be tweaked, plans must be changed, and even bad ideas pitched. Yet God still needs you and I to be true to our name as believers, and trust him. Let’s turn to God. Take the facts to God in prayer, hear his voice, act on it, and watch him turn the facts into God possibilities.
