It Ain’t What It Look Like!

Faith: firm belief in something for which there is no proof; complete trust

Things sometimes appear to be one way, but that doesn’t mean that the outcome is going to be what we think. The word plainly tells us to walk by faith and not by sight. We should take heed to that scripture, because things ain’t what they look like!

Let’s take a look at the children of Israel when they were leaving out of Egypt – the Red Sea was in front of them and Pharaoh was behind them. Exodus 14:10 and 13 tells us, “And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord… And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.” Even when it appeared that the children of Israel were doomed, God was RIGHT THERE even in the middle of their storm – so you see, it ain’t what it look like.

Even if our children are living a life we don’t approve of or there might be friction between husband and wife. Maybe it seems like there are not enough finances to meet the need or things simply aren’t working out the way you thought they would. Just keep on praying and believing because things ain’t what they look like!

And think about Abraham and Sarah – they prayed for a son, but it didn’t seem as if it was going to happen. Their situation also appeared to be doomed, but God had promised Abram a son and despite him being 100 and Sarah being 90, they bore a son! That’s just another example to show you that it ain’t what it look like!

It’s so important to walk by faith and not by sight, because sight alone will fool you. Just keep trusting in our amazing, awesome and loving Savior Jesus Christ and He will show you that it ain’t what it look like!!

With all that said, let the church say Amen… and AMEN!
