Mark 11:23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain,’Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but Believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.
Believe.
I see this word on bumper stickers, jewelry, greeting cards, wall decor, and T-shirts.
It seems society has embraced it.
But, what does it really mean?
Believe in who?
Believe in what?
Believe in oneself?
Believe in the power within?
Believe in God?
I have a picture hanging in my home office, with simply “Believe” written in script.
It tells me that I can do it…achieve it…
But, I realize it is not me alone that makes anything happen in my personal life or my career.
It is God who leads me.
It is God who empowers me.
It is God who gives me the skills necessary to achieve.
But, it means still more.
To me, it is a reminder that I believe that Jesus is God’s Son and that I have eternal life through Him.
John 20:31 but these are written, that you may Believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing
you may have life in his name.
It IS important to have confidence in oneself…if that confidence comes from God.
It IS important to have a “can do” attitude…if one realizes that their giftedness comes from our Creator.
It IS important to have faith…if it is in God.
We can have every confidence in Him.
For it is in Him WHO IS TRUTH that we have the power to BELIEVE.
