"The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." ~Psalm 145:18
Believe. That is something we tend to hear about a lot this year. Not necessarily in regards to Christ but in regards to Santa. Whenever I hear this I always think about God. I think about how belief is so important. Faith is such an important thing to God that it is impossible to please Him without it. It is so important to believe God by taking Him at His word. By believing that He does reward those who earnestly seek Him.
God is so good. He never changes. He is always the same. This verse was a great reminder to me. The Lord is near to all who call on Him. The second part is those who call on Him in truth. That word listed there for truth means "in belief." We need to not only call on God but also call on Him and believe He hears us and will answer us.
So when you hear Believe this season I want to challenge you to have faith that God is near, He lives in us by His Spirit if we are His. He hears us if we call on Him. He answers us. He is a God who works in our daily lives. He is a God who loves us completely. So what a great gift to give God this season--Belief or Faith in Him.
Give Him all the concerns in your life by faith. Give Him all the hurts by faith. Give Him all the joys by faith. Whatever it is He wants to be part of it. He loves you. Praying we will not be a people of unbelief. Let us make this the best birthday bash ever for our Savior. He is worthy.

Such a good reminder. Our choir sang "I Believe" last week. It's probably my "new" favorite Christmas song.

Sounds like you have been doing a little "Believing God" by Beth Moore??? It is such a great study and one that literally impacted my life in monumental ways.

That was a beautiful post. I see those "Believe" photos in many blogs sidebars. I often wonder if they instructing belief of the truth or that of fictional characters.
Ah, yes, believe... praying with you dear Angie girl.
