Faith is a really hard topic for some and yet for others it seems to come so easily. It has always been funny to me that we are so inconsistent with our faith. Let me explain...
- We seem to be able to drive our cars and not have to know how it all works before we do so.
- We can go to a restaurant, order food from a stranger, cooked by a stranger, delivered by a stranger and then have no problem placing these items into our body.
- We can board a roller coaster; strap ourselves in for the ride of our life with no hesitation.
Yet, when it comes to God, some of us want to know all the answers before we will trust him with our lives. Is that fair?
If this is how we feel we must go through life, then be consistent with this way of thinking when it comes to all areas of life, right? All I’m trying to say is that everyday we display all kinds of faith in our life (like when we travel through a green light, trusting that total strangers will all be stopped at the red light).
- Why not bring this same faith to our relationship with a God that is absolutely in love with us?
- He has our best interest, he wants the best for us, why not trust him? Today? Right now? What are you waiting for?
Grab your bible and read Proverbs 3:5-6 (not later, right now) and chew on what this means for you today:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths
straight.
Have fun, and oh yeah--Join us this Sunday night at five as I finish out the rest of Ephesians 6.
