Unbelief

The obstacle to knowing and believing God is UNBELIEF.

Believing God is about trusting Him. 

I was so taken back to learn that when I don't believe/trust God in my life, that is defined as 'not being worthy of confidence'.  I would never 'say' God is not worthy of my confidence!  Yet, when I doubt what God is doing or doubt that He is doing anything, or second guess Him, or do not believe He cares about me or my life, that is exactly what I am 'saying'!

Impossible!  It is impossible for God not to be worthy of confidence.  Are you kidding me.  The One who spoke and the world came into being;  The One who set the sun and the stars in place; The One who knit me together in my mother's womb;  The Alpha and Omega isn't worthy of my confidence?

Oh dear, I shutter to think how many times in my life, I thought I had a better plan than God.  Or how many times I thought God must be too busy with someone else, because He certainly doesn't appear to be helping me.  Goodness, what was I thinking. 

My God is FAITHFUL!

"Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:  The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, The Lord is my inheritance therefor, I will hope in him!"  Lamentations 3:21-24 (NLT)


Remember the song you learned as a kid -He's got the whole world in His hands?

He DOES!.
