Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to. - G. Seaton
Even in the midst of being tossed into a fiery furnace with the possibility of God not sparing them, the 3 Hebrew boys couldn’t denounce the God they served and loved. You know the rest of the story!
God is still in the miracle working business, but His primary desire is for relationship with His people. There are times when we seem to prefer the miracle over the miracle worker. There are times we get so carried away with our deliverance, or the revelation we’ve received, we forget the very God who’s responsible. God plainly calls this idolatry 'worshiping the creation rather than the Creator.' Miracles are only manifested to bring God glory. If we need them to sustain our faith or prove God real, then our faith is in vain. True faith rests in the God of miracles, not the miracles themselves. God truly wants to be known and loved for who HE IS to us, not so much what He does for us.
Until Monday…..

“Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:29
