Believe

[25] So they went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. [26] And they told him, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them. [27] But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. [28] And Israel said, “It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
(Genesis 45:25-28, ESV)

And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
(from “You Say”, by Lauren Daigle)

Sometimes, the things that God says about us and over our lives are just too good to believe. It’s not like we think, ‘God doesn’t know what He’s doing’, or ‘He can’t see the future’. We are just so programmed by this world to question things that are slightly out of the ordinary. And when God speaks, often it is far beyond our imagination.

Romans 12:2 says, “… be transformed by the renewal of your mind, …”. We need to read the basic truths written in God‘s word. We need to meditate on them every day.

Then, when God speaks to you through a sermon, or a song, or a sunset, or a prophetic word, or a dream, your mind is ready to listen to what God has to say.

God is a merciful God. He knows how difficult it is for us to believe the wonderful things He has for us. I know, I struggle with this almost every single day.

God speaks to people in different ways. And to some of us, He speaks many ways, almost at the same time. God has been trying to tell me something that I’ve been having a difficult time believing. Because He is so kind to me, He told me the same message in a sermon, a song, a sunset, a prophetic word, and a dream.
