Do you ever consider what you believe? And why you believe it? Why do we believe what we believe? Is it more our parents than it is us? Is it more social norms, society, friends, family, or is it us? A lot of times, we have tunnel vision. I agree, sometimes seeing is believing. But if we don’t believe in the first place, how can we ever see it? That’s where the concept of faith comes in. If we saw God, and he came to us in physical form, that leaves no room for faith. He would be so much less mysterious. But my point here is, if we don’t believe, how can we expect anything to happen in our lives? A couple of my friends don’t believe in miracles. There is one in particular (Troy) that told me something that really bothered me about my mother and her situation. He told me that, although he was going to pray for my mother, he still thought she needed to have chemotherapy. Hypocrisy in my opinion. My mother is not having surgery; she is not having chemotherapy. She is at a clinic in Washington. They are Christian’s doctors. Yes they are real doctors. She is depending on God for healing.

2 Chronicles 16:12 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the LORD, but only from the physicians. In this scripture, Asa depended on physicians instead of God. Asa died two years later, because he did not depend on God, as God said He would heal Asa.

Don’t tell me you’re going to pray if you don’t have the faith to believe that God can heal. I don’t mean to belittle anyone here, honestly I don’t. But sometimes I just wonder how much it’s going to take for God to show us that He is real? Does he have to write it in the sky? Now some people are more seeing than believing, (Eli) and that’s understandable. Eli, from what I gather, has issues believing in something that he can’t see happening. I’m not insulting Eli, or anyone else that believes this way, just stating my opinion (This is America, after all). I think a lot of people are like this. We can’t believe it unless we can fathom it. Well let me share my thoughts. We can’t understand God. That’s why He’s God. We can’t understand everything, nor or we meant to. I don’t care what society says, science can’t prove everything. We have become to analytical, with everything. Humans as a whole have; we over analyze. We look to deep. We dig to deep in science, in things that we aren’t supposed to know about, things we aren’t supposed to medal with. God won’t allow it. We will see the end of the world before we see a grown human. God claims in the bible that every human born has the “breath of God’ breathed into him when he is born. Take it literal, take it symbolically, frankly it doesn’t matter and I don’t care. Time will reveal all that is to come.
