Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
After all the time that Jesus spent with the apostles, He
had to take a lengthy amount of time explaining to them who He was. When He completed His explanation, He posed a
question to them, "Do you now believe?"
Somehow as we pray, read the Word, worship and serve God, we
manage to lose our sense of who Almighty God really is and the certainty of all the
promises that He has given us through His Son, Jesus Christ. We turn toward the world for answers when our
all-sufficient Lord has provided us with a Wonderful Counselor who can supply
our every need.
When Jesus Christ left the earth, did He leave us to our own wiles? No He did not. He promised that that His Holy Spirit would be with us and would comfort and guide us. To believe otherwise is to have a complete lack of faith. To believe otherwise is to deny what Jesus said He came to earth to do. "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you
may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have
overcome the world."
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the comfort and guidance that You provide through Your Holy Spirit. We bless the name of Jesus who came to earth so that we may have peace and we may overcome the tribulations of the world. We pray, Father, that Your Holy Spirit will help us to dig deep into our relationship
with You. May we dig so deep that we
never again turn to the world for counsel without having gone to You
first. Help us, Lord, to believe for more than
we believe is possible through our own efforts.
Teach us how to wait on You for Your good and perfect timing in all
things. We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our precious Savior.
