 BELIEVING

Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 3-4

"...Through us God caused you to believe..." 1 Corinthians 3:5 NLT

We all have that someone we've been praying to the Lord.

Someone who is 'this' close.

Someone who is struggling and just won't give up.

Someone who has heard the Truth and the Truth is nestling itself deep into their hearts.

But they don't believe yet.

Not yet.

We'd like to rush the process.

We'd like to push them into a decision.

We'd like to drag them kicking and screaming into the Kingdom.

But God is the one who causes people to believe in Him.

Our words might help.

Our deeds might be noticed and taken into consideration.

Our lives might be road signs directing them to Him.

Our quoted verses and invitations to church might draw them a little closer.

But ONLY He brings about belief in the heart.

It's God who draws. It's God who reveals. It's God who saves!

We? We get to participate closely enough to watch what He does!
