JOURNAL=5-31-15=BELIEVE “When they ALL saw him-they WORSHIPED-but they DOUBTED” Matthew 28:17 We LIVE in a scientific age-we ALL want PROOF of everything-but WHERE GOD is concerned-it is a misnomer-because WE FIND GOD in faith-we find GOD by believing-WE BELIEVE despite the lack of evidence YET the circumstantial EVIDENCE for God is all around us-the sun-the moon-the green grass-and trees-OUR VERY OWN LIVES The WOMEN in the above example had already ANNOUNCED the incredible news to the disciples-Jesus is NO LONGER in the tomb-he is ALIVE in their midst-they BELIEVED-yet they doubted Jesus told the disciples that he would live-that he would RISE from the dead-even with PROOF-with Jesus right in front of them-the human condition was shining through-THEY WANTED to believe-yet they questioned and they doubted HOW about you and me? DO you believe the Scriptures-do you BELIEVE-the eyewitness testimony-WE PROFESS that Jesus is ALIVE-that God is ALIVE in this world-but do you really BELIEVE IT? I can only ANSWER for MYSELF-I was never so sure of anything in my ENTIRE LIFE-GOD IS ALIVE-JESUS IS ALIVE-He is alive IN YOU AND IN ME Dear Lord-we PRAY that we may be witnesses to you in this world-we may be WITNESSES to you-even when FAITH AND DOUBT coexist WE BELIEVE!
