Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. The sky looked mysterious as the sun began to rise this morning, and it’s that thought of “mysterious” that opened the door to my time with the Living God. My God is an amazing, omnipotent, omnipresent God, and the Mystery of Him can overwhelm His people with Joy as we lean on our Faith with no need for “explanation”. But it’s those “mysteries” that cause some people to fall short of ever Believing at all. The Bible says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see”, so no matter how often my mind is blown by the Magnificence of my God, I don’t need “proof” to believe, and I don’t try to make sense of the Mystery. He proclaims that He is “I am”, and I Believe Him with a Faith that doesn’t waver even through the mysteries of this Life. Isn’t that the way your Journey of Faith is, too?

It’s hilarious when you think about it – Science struggles to figure out the mysteries of the universe without a foundation of God to shed the Light, and science is left scratching its head because of it. Where is the “beginning” and where is the “end” of the universe? Scientists can only solve so many mysteries, and then they’re stumped to come up with a solid explanation for how ANY of it exists at all. We spend billions of dollars studying the galaxies, and we continue to look for signs of life on other planets. But the One who “scattered the stars in the sky and knows them each by name” didn’t forget to write the Chapter on life on other planets – He created “the heavens and the earth”. Even though it’s a mystery why His People only occupy this earth, the Great I AM Created it to be that way. The world spends an astronomical amount of time trying to disprove the Mysteries of a Mighty God, but it will always fall short because it lacks the Faith to believe in the I AM.

How many times must we read “I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End” to Believe in Him?

How many times do we study the miracle of human life with no logical explanation for how we came to be in the first place before we accept that “God created the Heavens and the Earth” and everything in it?

No matter how many times we circle around trying to make logical sense of the Mystery, it always comes back to the Great I AM and whether or not we have Faith to believe in all those things we do not see.

It makes my head hurt to think about how much time, effort, and money are spent trying to disprove a God that can’t be disproven, or how many miracles a world has to see before it surrenders to the Miracle Maker. There are plenty of Mysteries I won’t understand while I’m still here on this earth…I may not even understand them when I’m in the Presence of the Living God one day, but that’s okay. I have 100% Faith in I AM, and nobody needs to prove anything to me for me to Love Him with all my Heart and to Believe every single word of THE Word.

He’s a Mystery, alright, and that’s one of the things that sets Him apart from anything and everything else. It’s a MYSTERY that He knew me before the foundations of the earth; and it’s a Mystery that He loved me enough to send His Son to die for me so that I might have Life everlasting..and that’s enough to keep this simple Virginia woman clinging to Hope and filled with Joy over things I’ve never even seen with my eyes.

How about you?
