Our emotions say: I am frustrated, depressed, and afraid that I might not be good enough. Fear or faith? Believing and trusting? Fearing, and clinging to fear? Voicing what? Sharing what?
Because my cross looms before me, do I wonder if God loves me?
Do I give doubt a place in me? Or do I instruct my feelings and my perception of things to see joy result from even a predicament for that I may have caused.
Satan uses this trick; He is the “accuser of the brethren” (1 Timothy 4:13).
He loves to highlight our failures. Jesus loved us and gave himself for this very cause, “to take away our sin: to ‘save’ us.
A good listener is better than a quick responder; but Godly counsel must always lead a person to faith in God.
All who lived have passed this same journey. The choice of all is either with or against God, and the avenues of faith or doubt.
God became provoked with Israel because with stiff necks they chose complaining over trusting. Some will have stood out for the cause of God.
Some believed their journey was too hard, harder than others, so they never rose above complaining.
What is the cause of God concerning me? Is not His passion to make of my life a life that wins? Can He do it? The Savior saves, the best thing we can do is to run to Him.
“I can do all things through Christ,” (Philippians 4:13). He will see to it, or I can live in the solitude; Satan will see to that. Solitude, when it is accepted, will drive a person to build a case of self-pity, to perfect it with repetition, and to select listeners who lack the courage to insist that faith in God is always the answer.
Faith in the midst of great threat and pending difficulty is a common requirement of those who are commissioned to be in the world and not of it. Jesus paved the way. Jesus is the way. The way, works.
Doubt, it has a place, and does not tell us the good news. The newspapers and televised news are to be observed. but not to be trusted in predicting an outcome. God is at the helm.
God is near. Seek Him and He will be found.
