Hi Steemians! I said in my previous post, that I will try to include my daily devotional to steemit, not only will it help me to make it a habit. It is also my hope that it will help other people as well needing some light from the darkness they are into.
Anyhow, today's devotional came from Joel Osteen .
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
(Hebrews 11:6, NIV)
You know there are still moments in my life that I question God's existence? Do you also feel the same? But looking at the earth, and the things around me, how could these possibly sprout out of nowhere? I have faith sometimes, then I have none. I think it is human nature to feel perk up when everything is going our way. And when times get tough, suddenly we loose hope and blame everyone else including God but ourselves.
I have so many living testimonies in my life that God exists even without me seeing Him, but there are still time I have to question Him for things that is tough and rough. Maybe, just maybe God, make us go through these tests and trials so He would know how strong our FAITH is. In the same manner, that these tests help us develop more faith in HIM. Let's accept the fact that when we are at the bottom and we have lose hope in everything, there is still a mustard seed-like faith that remains in the depths of our hearts.
That mustard seed-like faith is something that we need to nourish every single day of our lives. We have to let and watch it grow. It is in this Daily Devotional, that I hope my faith becomes stronger, as I am letting it out to the whole world. When we feed our hearts and mind with the goodness of God, the more we can sustain our faith.
In line with this devotional, I would like to share with you the FAITH of thousands of Filipinos in the Black Nazarene .
Thousands and thousands of devotees flock each year at Quaipo Church, Manila for the annual procession of the Black Nazarene. This photo is currently happening as the Annual procession is every January 9.
