my Lord grieves...
Ever tot of...
What keeps us from trusting God fully?
Have you question His ability to intervene in our deepest troubles and darkest hours?
Could it be that we thought that His power is insufficient to meet our needs?
We know better, we would never overtly question in our minds of the power of our God.
We know our God created this world and that He holds it in His hands.
But, sometimes we really wonder how is that power of His, relevant to us?
Ever felt that a situation is somewhat difficult, and feel that all we could do is
hope that our prayer may still have a chance?
but when the situation is really bleak, we give up our faith that there is an answer that will come?
The degree of difficulty often influences our perception of God's ability to work.
BUT..
why would the level of difficulty have anything to do with whether we believe God will answer or not?
He has been clear, There is nothing too difficult for Him. and He answers all prayers!
Isaiah 50:1-2
1 This is what the LORD says:
"Where is your mother's certificate of divorce
with which I sent her away?
Or to which of my creditors
did I sell you?
2 When I came, why was there no one?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Was my arm too short to ransom you?
Do I lack the strength to rescue you?
Our God that we believe in,
is the God who parts the seas,
who slays the Goliaths,
who heals the blind and lame,
who cleanses the lepers,
who turns water into wine,
who calms the raging seas,
who cannot be held in a tomb,
who overcome death and resurrected!
What is it about our own situation that causes us to give up our faith and hope?
when we maintained hope when problems are solvable and given up hope when they are not,
then we have forgotten the God of the impossible.
No situation scares Him out,
Nor is He desperately trying to figure out our problems.
He always takes great pleasure in bursting into an impossible situation with an answer that none thought of.
He is always ready, and mighty to save.
His greatest reluctance is the lack of faith that we engage Him with.
the genuine, persistent and bold faith.
and it grieves Him......
