“I would have fainted unless I believed to see the goodness of the LORD...” (Psalm 27:13). Faith is therefore self-authenticating: as you trust in the good, the good will be revealed. As Yeshua said, “According to your faith be it done unto you” (Matt. 9:29). And if it is faith that makes you whole, then its lack makes you sick... As you doubt, so you will lose sight of what is real, true, and abiding. Being cynical is cowardly: “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isnt true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true” (Kierkegaard). A cynic refuses the possibility of truth because he is afraid of being fooled, and for this fear he willingly closes his eyes to the good. “Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact” (William James). When we trust Gods promises, we affirm an unseen good even if the present hour is shrouded in darkness. Faith sees beyond “the seen” to the unseen (2 Cor. 4:18). The “seen” is not ultimately real, and consequently faith is exiled from the vanity of the present hour. Therefore affirm your faith, friend. Refuse the darkness of fear by choosing to believe in the reality of God’s love for your soul, despite the mess youve made of your life. Affirm that God’s love is more real, more substantive, and more valuable than anything disclosed in this world that fades away.
