I know it!

"For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.  For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, 'This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased' - and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain." -II Peter 1:16 (NASB)

Sometimes things can seem unbelievable.  Things can become more real when there is an eyewitness, when someone witnesses something and can say, "I saw it myself!"  We read or see eyewitness accounts of many things.  When we see or hear these accounts, it can help us know what is real and what has happened.

The Bible gives us eyewitness accounts as well!  Peter tells us that he and the first believers did not make up or follow some crazy story.  They followed Jesus because of what He said and did - what they witnessed.  Not only did they witness the events, they have written them down and shared them so that we, too, can believe!

God has given you eyewitness accounts of His power and glory. You just have to believe!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me the Bible and the eyewitness accounts of the first believers as guidance and encouragement.  Thank You for the events in my life that show me Your love and power.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
