Things tend to happen in our lives that we are caught off guard by. How we react tells a lot about us. The problem is other people watch us and wonder sometimes what we are doing. See different circumstances come in and out of lives, but none of it is by accident. It is my belief and I think the Bible is in agreement that everything has to pass in front of God the Father before it is allowed to enter our life. So why does it matter what other people think about how we react to different circumstances? The common question in people’s minds, do they really have faith in God? Or are they just Foolish. You see with everything that happens in our lives we have the chance to show Faithfulness or Foolishness. Our Faith is rooted in the fact that God loves us enough that He sent His Son Jesus to die upon the cross for us to be redeemed back to Him. You see our Faith is not in whether or not God will change our circumstances and make things better for us. Our Faith is in the fact that He loves us and God will do what is best for us in the long run. Sometimes that means having to go through some things that aren’t pleasant for us. It could even mean the loss of a loved one. We are being watched by the world to see if what we say is true about having Faith and being Faithful. Or if what the world says is true when they call us Foolish. So which do you show when things are bad and things aren’t happening the way you think they ought to be. Are you showing Faithfulness or are you showing Foolishness?
