Where is your faith?
Where is your faith? Believing in Jesus in a world of pain and confusion
that they may not see the brightness of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4). He constantly attempts to lead believers astray (Matthew 24:24). This is why it is fundamental for those who follow Jesus to learn to walk “by faith and not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). In other words, we must learn to trust God's promises more than our perceptions. This truth is found throughout the Bible, from beginning to end. The purpose of this little book is to reflect, imaginatively, on the real experiences of real people in the Bible in order to help you grasp and live the meaning of “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and Don’t rely on your intelligence!” (Proverbs 3:5). The goal is to help you believe in Jesus as you continue to live in a world of pain and confusion. Jesus said, “This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent” (John 6:29). My prayer is that God will use this book to encourage you in the most important work of your life.

When you don't understand where God is leading you, where do you place your faith?
In the Bible, many people chose, despite their circumstances, to place their trust in God. The author draws inspiration from several of them through 34 meditations. He imagines their reasoning when faced with the doubts and difficulties of life. With great talent, he brings relief to the personalities of these men and women, to bring them to life, making them accessible and close to our questions. He has only one desire: that you too may be encouraged to believe in Jesus even when everything is against you. Jesus asks all those who want to follow him to believe without seeing. So don't be limited by what you see, but trust in God's promises!
