It is easy to believe and trust in God when we are well, or when we see things, when our faith is supported by the facts we are seeing; or we know that we are healthy and we still have life, but ...
What happens when we find ourselves in a situation where the situation is totally against us? When are we in the middle of the disease and the prognosis is bleak? Do we have the same capacity to believe in what God can do? Are we capable of trusting in God's totality? Or is it too hard for us to believe that God will work or that He will heal us?
Let's be honest: it is easy for us to believe when we see the power of God acting, but when those times of torment, pain, anguish and fear come, where, no matter how much we pray, we do not find an answer, those times where it seems that God also to keep silence has also disappeared, in those moments, let's be honest that we HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING GOOD CAN HAPPEN.
Let me tell you something, that will heal you in a thousand different ways, it will save you and bring peace to your heart and strength to your spirit.
Personally I am struck by a passage in the Bible where I can notice the character's faith in Jesus even though Jesus is dying at that moment.
When they were crucifying Jesus, the Bible says: "And they crucified two thieves with him, one on his right hand, and the other on his left" Mark 15:27
I am struck by what each of them thinks about Jesus. They being bad were sharing a deathbed with someone who was good, had no guilt, had never done anything bad to deserve death on a cross, however one of the thieves seeing his state and Jesus was exactly the same , since the two were crucified on a cross regardless of the reason for his judgment, he dares to say: "And one of the evildoers who were hanged insulted him, saying: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us" Luke 23:39
His phrase denoted total disbelief, since he said: "If you are the Christ", as if to say: "Prove if it is true!". Sometimes we act in exactly the same way, am I wrong? I do not think, we act exactly like that thief, seeing our bad state we tend to demand God to prove that he is.
How many times have we said to God: "If you are God, do this or this?", Or how many times without saying we have thought in this way: "God you have the power to do this, show me that you are capable of doing it" .
You know, sometimes God does not have to prove anything, he does not need to go everywhere doing everything you want him to do so that you think he is God or that he has the power to do it, sometimes I think we try to blackmail God , "Putting into judgment" his power or his capacity to act, as if the fact that we put him on trial will make him work more or do it faster or in the way that we want.
God has his times, his forms, his goals and purposes, He does not need to show you what HE IS, because he always WAS, has always been and always will be. He will always do according to his will.
