God is Faithful

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind” (James 1:6).

God is faithful. Faithful to provide all we need, in fact, He knows our needs even before we realize we have them! Why then, should we ever doubt Him? His will for our welfare supersedes all we believe we know we need. Yet, we often, maybe too often, try to anticipate what we think will be the outcome of what happens in our lives. I think the truth is; we want Him to cause the best for us, that which we want to see happen, but because we allow the thinking of the world to influence our beliefs, we start doubting His participation.

If I prejudge you, believing you aren’t going to act in a certain way, the way I want you to respond, and you know about it, what will you think? If I anticipate your lack of involvement in your response and go on with my own way of dealing with the situation; the way I wish you would respond, how will this make you feel? I can tell you; you won’t consider my faith in you very strong. I might even make you angry. I don’t believe we are fair with God when we treat Him this same way, and we do.

God wants the best for you! You are His prized possession, His child, and He will provide for you. Remember what Jesus said in (Matthew 6:26) when He was instructing you not to worry… “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

Let us remember; He who created us loves us, and He will provide for us. No more doubting! Let's just be faithful, just as He is faithful.

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...
