Thursday Devotional-Do You Believe?
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
— John 14:1
The interesting part of this verse is what comes before it. Towards the end of John 13, the disciples receive some news they didn’t want to hear at that time from Jesus: He would be betrayed, abandoned, denied, forsaken (John 13:23-38). Have you ever received news that has troubled you? Did the questions come? For the disciples, it did. But then comes the next statement: Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled. You Believe In God. Believe Also In Me. Do you believe? That’s my question to you today.
Do you believe?? There will be questions unanswered on this side of Heaven. When the death of a parent or friend, when a terminal illness is pronounced upon you that will affect your family, when the news continues to gets worse and worse, when the wicked seems to be winning, these are just some of the questions that we ask ourselves. Regardless of how many years you have been a Christian, the questions will come. But the one question that is pivotal to answer is do you believe? Do you believe that He is the resurrection and the life? Do you believe that salvation is in no other name but Jesus? Do you believe that Hope by which we do not weep as the world weeps? Do you believe that He is good and that He is in control? Do you believe? Better question: Do you believe that today? Because today is the tomorrow that you were worried about yesterday. Do you believe?
