18. Believe God
Is God real? Can someone follow God wholeheartedly in this century? Is there a place for faith in modern times?
Most people do not like challenges. However, I have not met or read of many people whom God used greatly who did not fight through numerous obstacles. Most times, God’s blessings come camouflaged in problems. To avoid or to hate difficulties is to miss God altogether in our daily encounters. Remember, God only allows what He weighs and permits to come our way.
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah. 1 Kings 17:14-16

You will not witness your miracle or the full working of God in life until you step out in faith to believe God. Elijah was sent to the widow of Zeraphath when the land was plagued with famine and drought. Elijah could have discredited the possibility of having his needs met by an old poor widow. The widow could have disregarded the prophets words and continued in her usual lifestyle.

Believe God and do as His Word directs. His ways are higher than your ways even when they don’t make sense.
