I know that I have previously written on Faith before, but it's a concept I really want to get. I want to know that I know, that I have faith. Not occasionally but substantially, all of the time. Last week I was talking to a girlfriend. I shared with her my fear of losing my children, after watching my mom lose her son, my brother. I hope that you never have to experience this, but if you already have, then you know exactly what kind of heartbreaking pain that I am referring too.
Anyways, my friend told me that some of my anxieties is due to unbelief. Unbelief? What did she mean, of course I believe! I don't think she was referring to whether or not I thought God existed, no, it's deeper than that. Do I really believe that God is able, capable, and willing to handle things that are precious to me? You would say, of course, He is the one who gave them to me, but to really, really believe that God loves me, and has my best interest at heart.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that HE is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
I think that the verse above, Joshua 1:9 really signifies what I should do, and even if I am not completely convinced, believing through my doubt is the way to overcome it.
Until next time,
Peace.
