Why is it so hard to trust God
even when He has been so faithful in your life and you have absolute evidence
in your life that He never fails? I find myself wavering in my faith over and
over again. A condition that I must confess, I am so tired of!!!!
I am asking God to help me to
trust Him. A situation presents itself in my life, I pray and believe God for
an answer, He answers and I am in awe at how He works. Not so long, I face
another challenge and I am down again, stressed, worried, yes praying but not
having enough faith and assurance to believe that if God did it before He can
do it again. Its feels like a cycle of unbelief.
I do feel like I sometimes
behave like the children of Israel
during their times in the wilderness, they had tangible evidence of Gods
miraculous deliverance but over and over again, they doubted God deliverance
when challenges came their way, they were busy complaining and wishing they could return to
Egypt.
But I am grateful to God for His
Holy Spirit, He is my helper, He strengths
my soul at such times, best of all I am in the process of learning that
I am not supposed to live the Christian life in my own strength but that I
should allow the Holy Spirt to live the life of Christ through me.
I have come to cherish Jesus
words when He said “it is good that I go”…I am so glad He went…sounds funny
but yes I am very happy, because now I have a helper, the Holy Spirit with whom I
can walk in fellowship with every day and He always points me back to Jesus and
Helps me all the time so that Christ’s strength is made perfect in
my weakness.
There are some beautiful promises in John 14, aren't there? When He left here, He told us to rejoice: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (John 14:28 KJV)
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to rejoice when we're beset by the world's desire to draw us away from Him. It helps to remember that not only does the Holy Spirit comfort us, bring Him into remembrance but speaks to God for us: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26 KJV)
Blessed be the name of the Lord who loves His children!
