Do you believe God? I mean really, really believe Him? Paul did. In Acts 27 Paul, Luke, and many others (276 to be exact!) were on a ship bound for Rome. In verse 14 they found themselves in a cyclone and in verse 20 "all hope that we should be saved was taken away." And right there in the midst of their hopelessness Paul told them this: "Tonight there stood beside me the angel of God, the One to Whom I belong and said, fear not Paul, you and all on board will be brought to Caesar."
And then in verse 25 Paul said these words: "Be of good cheer, for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me."
God has told you in His Word Who He is, and He has promised what He will do. Believe Him. To believe that God is Who He says He is and that He can do what He's promised to do is a choice that only you can make for yourself. You either believe Him or you do not. Friend, choose now to "believe God that it will be even as it was told me." That one act of faith will literally change your perspective from doom and gloom to a biblical world view of faith, trust, healing, power, safety, security, and most of all hope. With those words, "I believe God," Paul turned a hopeless situation into a hope that God is in control of every circumstance of our lives and He will do for us everything that He has promised.
Do you believe Him? Really believe Him?
Have a great day and no matter what, believe God.

I hope you'll share this post with someone who is struggling in their belief; not believing IN God but believing God will do just as He's promised He will do. I'd love to hear your comments.
