Ever wonder why God wants us to have faith and why He just doesn't have Angels appearing to us trumpeting our names and calling us to come to Him. Surely, many more people would become instant believers if an Angel of the Lord followed them around until they gave their lives over to God. In the Bible, Mark relays in 8:12 that Jesus spoke "WHY DOES THIS GENERATION ASK FOR A MIRACULOUS SIGN? I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, NO SIGN WILL BE GIVEN" God gives us the free will to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, because it pleases Him to do so. If He wanted a world of robots, surely God could have created one in which there would be no one who didn't follow His word. Instead, God not only gives us free will to choose to have faith, He provides a life that openly challenges us to make decisions in faith every day. Whenever we open our mouths or impact others, we can either do right by our faith; or walk off of the righteous path.
KEEP THE FAITH - "BLESSED IS HE WHO HAS NOT SEEN, BUT BELIEVES"
OlyLife encourages you to keep the faith even when you look around you and do not see a sign of God in action. We are called to accept the message of Christ, even though we do not live in the time of the resurrection, and we have not seen the miracles that Jesus performed. The good news is that we have the message of God's love for us as treasured children, written down for us in the Holy Bible. Take time each day to strengthen your faith. Do not wait for a sign, it probably is not coming in fact, Jesus tells us in the scripture above, it most assuredly is not. When you think good thoughts and do good acts in faith, you are closer to making the most of your one and only life for His higher purpose - That's OlyLife!
