But why’s the gym so full this evening? the hell?

People mock what they don’t understand. Last year, I dressed like my miracle, even made a paper boarding pass with my name on it, acted in faith, and waited on God. It was funny, and I probably looked mad because I was dressed in a winter jacket in my room, holding a travel box. I was expecting responses from several schools, the most competitive one called me for an interview that finally got me in hours after my boyfriend sent an email affirming faith that I got into that particular school with funding. Guess what, I got into that same competitive school. Sitting down to write that email at midnight must have seemed foolish at the point. But the same faith that looked foolish then is the same faith that brought me here today. Because “faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26) Sometimes, “the work” is acting like what you’re praying for is already done. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1) We forget that Abraham was called crazy until Isaac came (Romans 4:18–21). Noah looked stupid until the rain started (Genesis 6:22). Hannah was mocked until Samuel was born (1 Samuel 1:19–20). The woman with the issue of blood didn’t wait for an instruction; she touched His garment and was healed (Mark 5:27–29). So yes, I’ll do it again this year Hallelujah Challenge. I’ll dress like my miracle because I’ve seen what faith can do when it’s backed by preparation and belief. And before you call it delusion, remember: “Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfil His promises to her.” (Luke 1:45) Faith doesn’t always look logical, but it’s never wasted. You can’t mock what you’ve never tried to understand. And for those who say they can’t take Christianity seriously, maybe it’s not because faith is unserious. Maybe it’s because they’ve never seen the power of belief beyond logic. That’s fine. Some of us have seen it, and once you’ve tasted and seen that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), You stop explaining faith, you start living it.
