Brought out of slavery in Egypt. Saved from lions. Victorious in battle. The Word of God is full of stories of deliverance, full of accounts of God showing Himself strong as the Deliverer of His people. He hears His people’s cry. He delivers them from their distress. We see it again and again.
But, do you believe it?
Do you truly believe God rescued an entire community from slavery and delivered them from a pursuing army by creating a pathway through the sea? Do you believe He’s the same God you can speak to right now?
Do you believe Jesus gave sight to a man who was born blind? Do you believe He is still able to perform miracles?
Do you believe a man who plotted murder against God’s people could suddenly, miraculously have a change of heart and become one of His greatest advocates? God did that with Saul who became Paul. When you think of the most wicked people in the world today, do you believe God could save and change them in the same way?
It’s easy to doubt
Expressing doubts and having a strong sense of pessimism is understandable but it takes no effort, it’s easy to doubt! But have you ever put in the work and performed any of your own research before coming to a conclusion? I can think of one man who did. His name is Lee Strobel, he is an investigate journalist who sought to prove that God and Christianity was just superstition and intelligent people don’t believe in it. As it turned out, he found so much evidence that proved the existence of God and His son Jesus that he became a believer.
Stay encouraged
The God who is with you right now is the same God who delivered in every one of those circumstances. He can deliver you, too! {Psalms 107:14-15}
