The Worthlessness of Unbelief

It is  unbelief that keeps people from seeing miracles that are happening right before their very eyes. Just as God said in Romans that there is no excuse for anyone not to know HIm---[if only they  look around, what they see should suffice and  answer the reality of God]. 















Miracles do happen everyday and every moment. It is a miracle that we see---it is a miracle that we are able to sleep and recharge our bodies and eat and digest our food. It is a miracle that we hear and breathe and walk. However, the Lord has blessed us so much  with these miracles on a daily and moment to moment  basis that we no longer realize and acknowledge that indeed we are living miracles. We take for granted His blessings. Our hearts are so disensitized of miraculous awe-inspiring and wonderful gifts from Him that we no longer realize these miracles and thus we  relegated  them as normal ordinary functions in physical life. So when the supernatural miracles happen, our eyes being  so clouded and  hearts so heavy with unbelief we do not all the more  recognize His  supernatural work.

When doctors encounter healings or  diseases vanishing without an explanation they stop at saying "there is no explanation,"  or they say, "it was a misdiagnosis" . If only their hearts look beyond what is physical and think of God who  creates and heals and orchestrates things, then they will discover HIs greatness and lovingkindness. If  only they shed  their unbelief and look through the eyes of faith, they will find out that there is nothing impossible with God, and He does as He pleases and when He does, He does it well.




Praise and Worship

There is something about the vibrant colors of Fall that tug at my heart to praise and worship God. When I behold the orange and yellow and red of the leaves as they laugh with the blowing of the wind, and they let go and float downwards to the ground, my soul figuratively prostrates before the Lord Almighty, who I believed designed and created this beautiful phenomenon. When the golden sun dapples the autumn trees and reflects soft and warm-to-the-eyes light all around, my heart bursts out in worship to God. Autumn foliage brings such heart-warming sensation to my being and I get reminded of our Abba Father's love towards us. Love so tender and kind, I cannot begin to contain all in my little heart. His love endures forever.

The Sunday we missed church, we decided instead to go out backamong the trees and sing praises to God. Steve picked his guitar and Zach a toy piano. We sang and sang and lifted our hearts to Him who is worthy of praise and honor and glory. Meantime, the wind blew, and the autumn leaves rustled and danced before letting go down, down to our heads then to the ground.
A glorious feeling!
