Believing God when all is going as planned is a secure feeling...people we love are getting along and following Jesus, the home sold as predicted, raise and bonus money came through, doctors report was healthy, slow sales picked up, hard work and commitment are recognized, etc. But to keep believing God when life is falling apart, is when we develop a resilient character and an unshakeable faith that no devil in hell can steal!
It's believing God despite the smell of death that lingers in a marriage, watching an addiction rob the life of a loved one, to leave your family and friends and move across country to start a new life, when someone you trusted embezzled money from your company, etc. It's where we realize we never had any control to begin with; we just relied a lot on familiar routines, comforts & predictable schedules. It's where we're honest, mad, sad and crying as we lay before God and hold nothing back and ask Him how are we suppose to overcome! It's in these places that God gets us exactly where He wants us...a place of being raw and real with Him. It's in these places where we learn to trust God; we come to know He's for us and that it's only His truth that can set us free!
Embrace these seasons and know the love of God and be known by Him. One more thing-these seasons can't be avoided, but you never fail either...you will grow and develop in believing God or stay there until you do! Today, will you believe God is for you?
