JESUS CARES™
 
The facts may say one thing.
The bank account may look low.
The doctor's report may sound discouraging.
The circumstances may seem impossible.
The storm may be raging all around you.
But Jesus shows us the TRUTH.
As believers, we are not called to live by what we see. We are called to walk by faith and not by sight. Faith does not deny the facts—it simply refuses to allow the facts to have the final say.
The facts may say you're defeated.
God's Word says you are more than a conqueror.
The facts may say you're weak.
God's Word says, "Let the weak say, I am strong."
The facts may say you're alone.
God's Word says, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
The facts may say there's no way.
Jesus says, "With God all things are possible."
Jesus cares enough to tell us the truth.
He cares enough to remind us who we are.
He cares enough to remind us what He promised.
He cares enough to remind us that His Word is greater than any circumstance we face.
So don't take every situation at face value.
Look beyond the facts.
Stand on the truth.
Believe God's Word.
Speak God's Word.
Act on God's Word.
Because faith is not built on what we see.
Faith is built on what God said.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God..." —
 
Romans 8:28
Jesus cares. Therefore, we choose to believe His truth above every other voice.
That would make a powerful companion design in your Lay Hold Collection because it teaches believers the difference between facts and truth. The facts may be real, but God's Word is the higher truth that faith stands on. ✝️💗
 
 
SCRIPTURES TO STAND ON
 
2 Corinthians 5:7
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
The believer does not make decisions based solely on what can be seen. We trust God's Word even when circumstances have not yet changed.
 
Romans 4:20-21
"He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform."
Abraham believed God's promise before he saw the evidence.
 
Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Faith reaches beyond what the eyes can see.
 
Mark 9:23
"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
Possibility begins where faith believes God.
 
Numbers 23:19
"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent..."
God's Word remains true regardless of changing circumstances.
 
Isaiah 55:11
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void..."
God's Word accomplishes what He sends it to do.
 
Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God..."
Even when we cannot see it, God is working.
 
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
Trust God's wisdom above what appears logical.
 
Joshua 1:9
"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
God's presence is greater than any problem.
 
Ephesians 6:10
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."
Our strength comes from Him, not from our circumstances.
 
FACTS MAY CHANGE.
GOD'S WORD DOES NOT.
The facts may tell you where you are today.
God's Word tells you where He is taking you.
Stand on the truth.
Believe the promise.
Speak the Word.
Keep moving forward in faith.
Jesus cares enough to show us the truth.
