Believing is Seeing

Believing is Seeing

They say, “seeing is believing, “ and I’m sure you’re familiar with that old clichè, but let me caution you to not believe everything “they” say. Based on what I read in God’s Word, which is oftentimes quite contrary to what you hear from the world…


“Believing is seeing.”


What exactly does that mean, or better yet, how do you “believe” more consistently so you can “see” more clearly? I’m glad you asked! And if you asked (like I have, and still do, so often), it’s likely you’re currently having hard time “seeing“ God at work in your life. Am I right? Are the prayers you’re praying becoming mere whispers in the weariness of waiting?

If this is true and it describes you, don’t lose heart because you’re in the perfect place to start! Start believing God at His Word. Start trusting His promises. Start believing He’ll do what He says. Don’t you dare give up. We LIVE by believing. But don’t take my word for it, take His Word for it…



“For we live by believing and not by seeing.” 2 Corinthians 5:7


‬‬We regain our strength by holding on to hope, trusting in His timing, and believing He goes before us. He does the work, we simply trust and obey. Listen to Him and do things His Way.



If you are waiting to “see,” simply believe. I promise there is a reason for the wait, purpose in the perseverance, and blessing in the believing.



Believing is seeing, so keep believing His promises, and you’ll see His power and glory as He keeps doing what He says.



“Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”” John‬ ‭11:40‬

The WEIGHT of the WAIT: An Election Eve Reflection

The WEIGHT of the WAIT: An Election Eve Reflection

Well, I don’t know about you, but I will surely be glad when this election is over. Don’t get me wrong, it is an important election, and I feel very passionate about the platforms, policies, and personalities that are on the ballot, but regardless of the outcome, my hope will always remain in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. He will forever sit on the throne, regardless of who sits in the White House.

Waiting for anything carries a weight we can’t quite explain.

But the weight I‘ve felt lately is more than a heaviness of waiting on the results of an election. It’s more of a heaviness of waiting on Heaven. A weight in the wait that burdens the heart and troubles the mind, while simultaneously offering a yoke that is light and a peace that passes all understanding. When we wrestle with that weight in the natural, we find chaos and confusion, but when we surrender that weight to a supernatural God, we find rest, peace, and hope in knowing He is in control even when this world spins out of control.

The weight of the wait tells only part of the story. When we wait for Heaven, we experience the weight of glory.

“Now, if we are made for heaven, the desire for our proper place will be already in us, but not yet attached to the true object, and will even appear as the rival of that object […] If a transtemporal, transfinite good is our real destiny, then any other good on which our desire fixes must be in some degree fallacious, must bear at best only a symbolical relation to what will truly satisfy.”

C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
