Active in Belief, Faith, and Prayer

Richard Forbes
Active Faith

Believing is not simply a passive understanding of the divine nature of God, faith isn’t a seed that grows in us without our thinking and moving towards Jesus who we can feel but is our unseen Savior, and prayer isn’t a mindless chant or babble that we do while sleepily lost in a trance. No. Believing is the active pursuit of seeing more clearly while truly understanding our God. Faith is purposefully living and walking towards an unseen spiritual destination and Jesus Christ. As for praying, it is a conversation with God; speaking, listening, and finally, trusting in a response from Him. All of these things require us to be active in our pursuit of the Lord, Jesus, and a righteous life. These activities are what we do as Christian’s while actively seeking God, and our Lord Jesus.

Is God Revealing Himself in our Lives Today, on this Earth?

Do we believe that God interacts with us in the present; right here where we are today? Do we believe that He not only exists in Heaven, but is able to reveal himself to us on earth, in this land in which we live? Well, David, a man after God’s own heart, believed this, and if we don’t then do we believe that God is really omnipotent and omnipresent after all? If we limit God to heaven have we set bounds on Him, seeing him as a prisoner, confined to a spiritual world?

Our Living God is Active in our Lives Today

Do you want a close, loving, and meaningful, relationship with God? If so, then seek Him, and make Him the focus of your life. As we draw nearer to God, He will also draw nearer to us. Just as we can’t see unless our eyes are open, so too we can’t love, and be loved, unless our hearts have been softened. In this way… even as we abide in Him, He will abide in us. How are our hearts, eyes, and relationships with the Lord today?
