“They
soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted
exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert. And He
gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.” Psalm
106:13-15
If
we are persistent enough, God will give us what we want, even when
it’s not good for us.
You’re
determined to marry again after leaving your spouse? Ok
You
think a dating relationship without sex will cause you to lose that
person? Ok
You
won’t have enough money to support your family without being
dishonest? Ok
We
get what we want only to find our souls have turned to ice.
Fear is
rampant.
Doubt rules the day.
Those
who refuse to be controlled by the world, those who are determined to
be free (You will know the Truth and the truth will set you free) do
not have those struggles. Faith that waits upon God our Creator,
produces in us a peace and joy and truly is beyond human
understanding.
We
come to a place where we live and die without fear, without
uncertainty because the One who leads us never causes us to stumble.
Living by faith in our Creator's promises creates joy and
exhilaration and a deep and abiding rest.
Christian
faith can be described as “Choosing to believe the conclusion that
the Bible and God Himself through the person of Jesus the Christ has
presented regarding the evidence that we have before us.”
Faith
in our Creator turns everything - hard or difficult, scary or
peaceful into something awesome. Even our needs and struggles become
blessings when by faith we follow Jesus.
