It's Amazing What God Will Do

By no means is this blog what you'd call popular but I pray it blesses someone at sometime as the truth of God's Word is shared here.

 A few page views here, and a few there, have resulted in not a very large audience but a diverse readership. Most visitors to this blog are from within the United States but a few are from some unusual places. 




Here are a few of the other countries people have visited Faith Reviewed from:

• Russia
• Canada
• Ghana
• France
• Germany
• United Kingdom
• Nigeria
• India
• Poland
• Ukraine
• Tanzania
• South Africa
• Turkey
• Papua New Guinea

As I said, this blog gets a few readers here and a few there, not huge numbers of visits, so please know that I'm not sharing that out of pride but in awe.



I live in a very small town in rural Wisconsin. There are cows very near my home and cornfields just as close. It's not unusual to see a farmer going down the road on his tractor here and manure is a very common odor carried on our clean Wisconsin air.




God has provided a few opportunities to share my faith with neighbors, co-workers and a few random people around town and a few opportunities to share truth at my church. But, my sphere of influence is rather limited by the geography of the area.



When the Lord prompted me to start this blog a few months ago, I asked Him to use it as He saw fit, for His glory, not mine. If you click on the "About" link above, you'll find a link at the bottom of the page to another titled, Beliefs and Perspective. There, the basis of this blog is explained as follows:

My prayer for Faith Reviewed is that God will use it to bless someone. If that means 500 page views a day or just 1, so be it. My name might be attached to it, but this blog isn't mine. It belongs to God and I pray He will use it for His glory. 

This blog is God's, not mine, and I am amazed to see how He is using it to reach people that I would not otherwise be able to reach. 


It's amazing what God will do when we give something to Him, whether that something is ourselves, our problems, our jobs, our families, our time, our money or anything else. 


He promised, "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."  I don't think God meant that when we humble ourselves, He is going to put our name up in lights. No, it has more to do with allowing Him to take over, yielding to His will and allowing Him to work in ways that will bless us and others. 


Remember the blessed man in Psalm 1? He submitted himself to God, and God said, "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."  


God does bless obedience. His Word is full of promises and examples of Him doing just that. Those blessings are certainly to be enjoyed, but their ultimate purpose is to glorify His Name. 


We are blessed to be a blessing to others. We have been privileged to partake in the gospel. That's another blessing we cannot keep to ourselves. 2 Corinthians 4:3 says,  "...if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost." 


Just as blessings result from a surrendered heart, the Lord will work through us and cause His Word to prosper as we are obedient to proclaim it, regardless of the platform He chooses to give us.  That doesn't necessary mean huge numbers will respond, but it does mean He will use His Word to reach someone, somewhere, somehow - in His way and in His time. 


Another blessing God has brought about through this blog is how He is using it to teach me. Philippians 1:6 is a very precious promise. God's not done with me yet. Guess what? God's not done with you yet, either. As I have spent more and more time in God's Word to be able to present what He is leading me to share here, He has been teaching my heart too. So, please don't ever think I know it all or have it all together. I certainly don't, but God certainly does. It is amazing though what God will do when we surrender to Him and let Him work in and through us, for His glory. 


This post was almost titled, "It's Amazing What God Can Do," but then, a light bulb turned on in my head. We know God can do anything He chooses to do, but knowing He will do what He has promised is a much greater realization.
