In Tip #29, you were encouraged to force open your ears and eyes, to bravely search out the signs of the times, and to share what you are hearing and seeing with others. Now it is time to determine what you believe about the revelation you have received. Go ahead; it’s not as hard as you think.

Belief and doubt are functions of the heart (Mark 11:23, Romans 10:10).  Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).  So, ask your heart what it believes; and ask God if you are missing anything.  Both will have something to say – something that will have a dramatic impact on your life, and the lives of those in your spheres of influence.

Chaos has a way of proving what we believe in our hearts.  That opportunity is coming (for some, it has already begun).  In His mercy, God will help you challenge and fortify your faith before the chaos becomes severe.  He speaks in both our quiet times with Him and in our community with others.  A good place to begin is Psalm 139:23-24.

Workplace Ministry Tip: Here are some sample questions you can ask your heart:  What do you believe about the chaos that is going on around you?  Do you believe it will get worse?  What do you believe God would have you do to prepare – if anything?  Do you believe God will deliver you through whatever He allows in your life?  These and other important questions will come to you, if you will take the time to allow them.
