Finding Strength in Uncertain Times
When life takes an unexpected turn, it’s easy to feel lost and alone. Kelly’s story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, God is always present, guiding us through the unknown.
The Danger of Unbelief
In difficult times, our hearts can stray, becoming hardened and turning away from God. We’ve all asked the question, “Where is God?” when things don’t go as planned. But it’s precisely in these moments that we need to hold on to our faith. Unbelief can creep in, making us question God’s intentions and leading us down a path of rebellion.
God’s Warning
The Bible cautions us against unbelief, reminding us to “see to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God” (Hebrews 3:13). God knows our tendency to doubt, and He encourages us to guard our hearts against unbelief.
The Power of Encouragement
So, how can we keep our hearts soft and our faith strong? By seeking spiritual encouragement from God and others. When we’re honest about our struggles and doubts, we open ourselves up to receive comfort, strength, and hope. This, in turn, enables us to encourage others who are struggling, creating a beautiful circle of support and care.
A Call to Action
Let’s not forget that our faith in Jesus is our most precious treasure. If we lose it, we risk losing everything of true value. So, let’s heed God’s warning against unbelief and turn to Him for guidance and encouragement. Let’s ask Him to speak to us, to refresh our inner being, and to give us strength.
Prayer
Father God, I know my heart can grow hard around the edges with unbelief and rebellion. I choose to draw near to You and ask that You would encourage my heart and help my unbelief. Refresh my inner being, give me strength, and encourage me through Your Word. Help me to encourage others whose hearts are growing hard in difficult times. Daily, be my source in everything I pray, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
