Daily BITUB- “Faith In The Moment”

“Faith In The Moment”

I’ve been thinking a lot about faith lately. Not the kind of faith we talk about after everything works out. Not the faith that comes when the prayer has been answered, the storm has passed, and we can finally look back and say, “Now I understand what God was doing.” I’m talking about faith right in the middle of it. Because if I’m being truthful, there are moments when I’m tired. Moments when I don’t understand what God is doing. Moments when I’ve prayed and prayed and still don’t have the answers I want. There are days when I feel strong and ready to fight, and there are days when simply putting one foot in front of the other feels like a victory. And that’s where I’m learning what faith really means.

It means I don’t have to understand today to trust God today. I don’t have to see the ending to believe He is already there. I don’t have to wait until everything gets better to thank Him for walking beside me.

I need faith NOW.

Right here.

In the uncertainty.

In the waiting.

In the exhaustion.

In the unanswered prayers.

In the moments when fear tries to speak louder than my faith.

I’ve spent enough of my life looking backward and realizing, “God was with me the whole time.” Now I’m trying to recognize it while I’m living it. Maybe someday I’ll look back at this season and understand why certain things happened. Maybe I’ll see blessings that I simply can’t see today. But I don’t want to wait until “someday” to believe.

So today my prayer is simple:

God, I don’t know what tomorrow holds. I don’t understand everything happening today. I’m tired, and some days this journey is harder than I want anyone to know. But I still trust You.

Not because I know the outcome.

Not because everything is okay.

Not because I have all the answers.

Simply because You are God.

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

That word NOW means more to me than ever. My faith cannot only exist after the miracle. My faith has to live in the moment before the miracle comes.

So I’ll keep praying.

I’ll keep believing.

I’ll keep loving my family and friends.

I’ll keep appreciating the little moments.

And when I’m tired, I’ll keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I may not know what God is doing…but I know who is walking with me. And for today, that is enough. 

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU.

Have a great day ahead everyone.

Daily BITUB- “Serve”

“Serve”

Lately there has been a lot going on. Busy times, trying times, sleepless nights, but God continues to put things in our path to remind us there is always someone who has a greater need. Sometimes the greatest act of strength is serving someone else while you’re still fighting your own battles. It’s easy to give when our cup is overflowing. It’s easy to encourage when everything in our own life is going well. But there is something incredibly powerful about choosing to serve others even when we could use a little help ourselves. That doesn’t mean ignoring our own needs or pretending we’re okay when we’re not. Asking for help is important, too. We were never meant to carry everything alone. But I’ve learned that even in our difficult seasons, we still have something to give. Maybe it’s a phone call. A prayer. A listening ear. A few words of encouragement. A hug. A meal. Or simply reminding someone, “You don’t have to walk through this alone. Sometimes, while we’re busy being a blessing to someone else, God reminds us that we are still blessed, still needed, and still capable of making a difference. We don’t have to have everything figured out before we can help somebody else. We don’t have to be standing on top of the mountain before we reach back and grab another person’s hand. In fact, sometimes the person who understands the struggle best is the one still climbing. So serve when you can. Love when you can. Encourage when you can. Pray for others while asking them to pray for you. Because life was never meant to be about “What can you do for me?” It’s about “What can we do for each other?” We all need it sometimes, and we can all be the help sometimes. That’s how we get through this life… together.

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is from the words Jesus gave us.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” — Mark 10:45

Have a great day ahead everyone.
