The wind blows where it wishes. You hear the sound of it but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit. (John 3:8)
So we can't see the wind blow, but we can see objects blowing in the wind to support evidence of a wind. The same as with God. We can't physically see Him but we can see signs and wonders of Him.
Sometimes we find ourselves asking God, "Where are you?" in the midst of our struggle. How soon we forget that God didn't go anywhere, He is right there beside each of us. And He knows of our need.
Sometimes we forget how powerful God really is. I mean if you stop and think about it, God is literally everywhere. Just as you are reading this, somewhere around the world there is at least one baby being born who's mother elected to make the right choice. Right now someone is just coming out of critical surgery and going to live when doctors originally gave them no hope. Right now there is a fatal car accident taking place and someone is going to walk away without a scratch.
Testimonies are evidence that God exists.
A couple of my friends are missionaries so I love hearing what great things God is doing in other countries. My Pastor shared a link of a crusade in Nigeria where the average nightly crowd is 300,000. Some of the testimonies from there:
A woman with a skin infection, malaria, and a crippled hand was healed.
A 7 year old boy, dumb from birth, spoke for the first time.
A woman unable to lift her arm for 4 years now waves her arms proudly.
When you see what God is doing in the poorest and unhealthiest living conditions of other countries, our problems seem to pale in comparison. But God is concerned about your situation just as much as that 7 year old boy in Nigeria.
Nothing is too big for our God.
He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Just as an author writes a book with a beginning and an end, God wants to take our faith from just accepting (believing) Him to fully relying(trusting)on Him.
Believing in God is easy. But trusting in God takes faith.
