RESTORATION TODAY
THURSDAY 16TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: THE WAY OF FAITH.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11: 1.

Faith is the foundation of our Christian life. True belief is more than something we express verbally; it is a pathway you and I follow. Throughout life, our heavenly Father takes us on a journey, allowing us to experience a real relationship with Him as we face each circumstance.

In the story of Abraham (the father of faith), the Lord promised him descendants as numerous as the stars visible in the sky (Genesis 15: 5). Then God directed him to obey several commands, such as moving from home. Abraham was not told the details of this plan but he trusted God anyway. We, too, can know with certainty that the Lord is weaving together a beautiful plan.

He is not obligated to explain His reasoning or reveal every detail. Instead, God shows us what the next step will be (Psalm 119: 105), and our job is to obey, even when it doesn't make sense. If you want to know what God is doing in your life, obey Him. Often, you won't  understand the intricacies of the plan, but you can trust the goodness of His heart.

Rest assured that all He does is purposeful and for your benefit. So step forward in faith, and you will see His faithfulness.
