We can believe our eyes, or we can believe what the Lord has said.

"Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him"

-Hebrews 2:8

Murder

Cancer

Rape

Violence

Lies

Hunger

Abuse

Deception 

There is so much in this world that seems like it has nothing controlling it,

that sin is just running rampant through the world.  I've seen my friends

lose their loved ones.  I've seen my neighbor get diagnosed with cancer 

and be given 2 months to live.  I have heard stories of girls being raped. 

I hear people say "If this is how God controls it, if this is how things are subjected

to Him and his power, why would i want to sign up?"  My pastor today said it perfectly.
"I get that."

"Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him"

We cannot see yet, the power that he has over all of this, but he DOES. 

We believe or lies and we let the circumstances of this world dictate our love for God. 

I wont let myself do that any longer.  I wont believe my eyes, i WILL believe what my 

God has promised me, and what he says to me.
"The key to knowing God is good, is simply knowing him."

If we know our Lord, our God, than there is no way we let the sin of this world

tell us what He can or cannot do.  That he is angry God that hates us. 

No. 

We know the truth, we just forget it sometimes. 

Whether you see him or not, He sees you. 

He cares. 

He loves. 

He protects. 

He gives. 

He takes. 

He preserves. 

He pursues. 

He sacrifices.

He adores.
He adorns.  

He blesses.
He grants.
He lives. 

Our God is good, forever.
