God Believes In You

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.” Hebrews 11:1-2

Never let anyone else’s opinion become your reality. The Bible is full of doubters who tried to stop the momentum of God-given dreams. As you walk in God’s path toward His dream for your life, you will always experience naysayers. 

Ten people in the Old Testament caused three million people to wander in the wilderness for 40 years. The Israelites let ten people’s opinions become the reality for millions. How many people would it take to talk you out of what God has called you to do? That generation of Israelites missed out on the promised land because they believed in men rather than God.

Noah had a goal to build an ark. He was ridiculed by everyone who saw what he was doing, but the Bible says several times, “Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.” He obeyed God one day at a time, one task at a time until the vision was fulfilled. 

Keep doing all that God leads you to do. Don’t let the voices of people stop you. They may even mean well, but they are not the ones who have been entrusted with the task. 

King Saul also tried to force his negative opinion on David when David told him about the great task that God was calling him to do. He said, “You are not able to go against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.” But David decided that he wasn’t going to let one man’s opinion become his reality. He was convinced he could trust God to help him see the victory. David had a vision of how the fight would go and even told the giant exactly how he would be defeated! God believed in David, God believed in Noah, and God believes in you!
