What you believe

Solomon's ordination ... music in celebration of the Lord

18 January 2011

Matthew 8:13 And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment.

What you believe determines how you live. Many of us believe many things, some of these are based on facts, some on emotions and others on what we have been taught or learnt through life experiences. Our process of maturing is largely as a result of our belief systems, the moment our belief system is eroded we will be vulnerable. The question what do you believe is important and we should spend time thinking and meditating on our answers. For example if we believe that our happiness is determined by a third party, then we will devote our time in pleasing them, thinking erroneously that by making them happy, we will be happy, the truth is we can only make ourselves happy.

What do we believe about ourselves, what do we believe about God, what do we believe about the municipal elections? These are just some ways we ask, in order that we start to really understand what we believe. When other people tell you what to believe and keep reinforcing it, does not make it true, or does it only become true for us when we agree with what they say. So if some one keeps telling you that you are to old or to young, stupid or inadequate, because they say that it does not make it true. What makes it true is when we believe it.

Be encouraged today to ask what you believe.

David
