The Big Idea: 

For all of us, trusting the unseen hand of God is a part of our faith journey. There’s not a person listening today that hasn’t struggled with this. We wonder and we question. “Where is God?” What is He doing?” It’s in these moments we have the opportunity to grow in our faith. We believe when it’s hard to believe. We trust when we feel like giving up. But through it all, we are actually developing a stronger faith in God. Our confidence in his goodness and faithfulness is growing.


Main Points:

1. There are times when his ways are hidden from us, and times when we cannot see what He is doing. It’s in these times that we must trust. We believe, even though we cannot see.
2. As Christians, we have not seen Jesus with our physical eyes, yet we have sufficient evidence to put our faith in him for salvation. Let’s choose to continue believing he is faithful and good, even when we don’t see him at work in our lives.
3. Have you been praying for God to meet a need, yet you don’t see any visible signs of him at work? Today, choose to trust Him anyway and confess to God your faith that He is at work.


Today’s Scripture Verse:

2 Corinthians 5:7 -  “For we live by faith, not by sight.”

John 20:29 - “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

1 Peter 1:8 - “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.”
