Faith is not a Fallacy

In these times, the world puts the tangible, what can be seen and felt, above all things
-
And faith, the intangible, is seen as unimportant, as flawed logic


But faith is worth it
Because God is faithful... in all things and circumstances, and He will take care.
-
In times of uncertainty and confusion, faith in God, is what gives us peace and comfort,


I’ve always had a certain wariness of certain teachings, especially with regard to the prosperity and ‘good life’ teachings that tell us that God will give us a good life...
-
It places too much emphasis on the tangible, earthly wealth that rots away...
-
but the emphasis it puts on faith... believing that God will provide... trusting in Him...
-
In the balanced view of it, God wants us to trust in Him and have faith in Him.
While He does not necessarily promise us a ‘good life’ as defined by the world(Heb 11),
But He ultimately will “make things beautiful in its own time” (Ecc 3:11).
-

It takes faith to believe that God is more important than anything else in the world.
but not everyone will share the same view, and it simply appears as foolishness
-
Simply because the promises of God, of eternal life, of salvation, in the eyes of carnal men is simply not tangible.
-
Sickness, and still serving God to the best of ones ability
or perhaps, offering thanksgiving even through times of grief.
-
To the world, its just one big fallacy.
but I will still trust Him...


I wish I knew what you’re going through...
but I guess God knows and He will take care...
