Day 15
I think one of the things I've always grappled with is my ability to trust God for the big things, but doubt him in the little things! I trust God with my eternal destiny, but doubt his ability to meet my temporal needs! I think most of us don't need "a faith that moves mountains." We need faith to believe God for the molehills!
I think one of the big challenges that most Christians face is what I would call "disconnects." There is a disconnect between our head and head, between believing and feeling. I think most Christians "believe" they are forgiven, but they don't "feel" forgiven. The truth in their head hasn't made the one foot journey into the heart.
I think one of the paradigm shifts we need to make is understanding the fundamental fact that God is for us not against us! Proverbs 13:21 says "Blessings chase the righteous." It's like we've got homing devices or magnets for the blessings of God! The Lord wants to bless us! He wants to favor us! Romans 8:31 says, "If God is for who, who can be against us?" I think getting this truth deep into our heart of hearts is absolutely critical to our spiritual help. It gives us a feeling, in the words of Oswald Chambers, of "inner unconquerableness."
