Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose | The “Best Of” Series

Pastor Erwin McManus inspires us with this great message from April 22, 2018 as part of our "Best Of" Series. — Many of us long to step into the life Jesus imagined for us. But how do we really do it? First, we must realize that faith is not a moment or merely a one-time decision. Inviting God into our lives is just the starting point. There's much necessary work needed to move into a spiritual depth. Sometimes we misunderstand what it looks like to step into faith with God but the struggle of faith is not a new struggle! Asaph shares his struggles in Psalms 73:1-2 “God is truly good to Israel, to those who have pure hearts but I had almost stopped believing this truth. I had almost lost my faith because I was jealous of proud people. I saw wicked people doing well." We lose our clarity when we focus on what others are doing. As long as we're looking at others’ journeys and comparing, we're walking blind. There will be moments in life that just don't make sense. Because of this, our faith must be connected to who God is instead of understanding all that God does. There may be days we question if it's worth it. Like Asaph, we're human and we have struggles, but when we stay close to Jesus we don't have to run when crisis comes. We meet God right in the middle of our journey. “Faith is not connected to what God does. Your faith has to be connected to who God is.” - Erwin McManus — "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose" message by Erwin McManus, previously recorded on April 22, 2018, at Mosaic Hollywood.
