John 14:11 - Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.


Show me a person who's never struggled with their faith. I daresay such a person doesn't exist. The reason for this is that humans are made from dust (Psalm 103:14). They are extremely fragile and not just in body. Human minds are even more so, which is why we are encouraged to be very careful what we allow our minds to meditate on (Proverbs 4:23).


Nevertheless, throughout the Bible believers are told to trust God and have faith in Him (Mark 11:22). And God does many things to help us achieve this. God, in His grace, shows us His power through miracles in our lives as well as in the lives of others. He doesn't just do these things to show off. No, He does them for you and I. His power is manifested and made visible in this world so we can remember that our God is mighty and uncontestable.


Take a look at our scriptural basis. In it Jesus tells us to believe He is from God and if that's too hard for us, to believe in the good works He's done.


Now, why did He give us a 'compromise'? Because having lived among mortals, He understood humans (Hebrews 4:15). He knew that people would not believe in Him without a showing of God's power (John 4:48). That is why His ministry was filled with miracles. He healed the sick, raised the dead and turned water into wine so wedding guests could keep having fun. All to the glory of God.


If you're struggling to believe that God can do something for you, please know that He understands. Your faith level is not a shock to the Almighty. However, don't get complacent. Ask the Lord to increase your faith. And as you grow in that area, do as Jesus commanded and look to the evidence of His works. Open your journals and read over the blessings and miracles you've experienced. Seek out the testimonies of others. Read the Bible and take note of the miracles within it. Find God's word on your issue and pronounce it over and over. Do these things knowing that God has never failed and He won't start failing with you. There's nothing you're going through that can stomp Him for with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).


Use these tools as the works spoken of in James 2:18 which discusses faith without works. By taking active steps to stand on the faithfulness of God, you are doing deeds that drive you in the direction of more faith instead of the direction of apathy and fear.


May the Lord bless you.
