Consider God

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths".

- Proverbs 3:5&6



Faith matters. Sometimes it seems hard to have faith. But is it really? Or are we being deceived? Sometimes our faith wavers. Should it really? We all need faith to accomplish goals in life. We all need faith to overcome life's challenges. With that, the answer to these two questions I posed is no. Though everyone struggles to hang on to it at times, faith shouldn't be hard to have nor should our faith waver. Why? Because we ought to always think about who God is and what He has already accomplished not only in our lives already but in the earth as well. No matter how great the challenge or opportunity we face, let's consider God. He wants us to remember who He is. He wants us to trust that He is able. With trusting in Him comes His promises. Without faith it is impossible to please Him.

Christmas is around the corner. I can't help but to think about all the gifts that will be given and received. I also ponder on how God our Father always has something ready for His kids. When we look to Him with regard, respect and expectation He always shows Himself as Abba Father, providing what we need just when we need it. Just like an earthly dad can't resist the look in His child's eye, when God looks at us as we look to Him in faith knowing that He will come through on our behalf, He is ready and willing to do just that. Consider God and just believe. Why shouldn't we believe? It's not like we can fix our issues or accomplish our goals on our own anyway. He has all dominion and power in His hand. Merriam-Webster has one of the definitions for dominion as supreme authority. Doesn't that sound just like God? When we consider Him these are the things we ought to remember. All of His attributes and characteristics are true. Faith becomes easier to embrace when we consider Him in all things and in every circumstance and on everyday.

I encourage you to just believe. Whatever it is that you are facing. God is the Author and Finisher of your faith, Heb. 12:2. Sarah in the bible had a hard time believing God so much that she laughed at Him when the promise for her to bare a child at her age was revealed but then she remembered. She considered who spoke to her. She considered God (Heb. 11:11), the AlL-Mighty one. The One that is true to His word. And so...Yes! She did bare a son to Abraham (Gen. 22:2). I implore you to consider God. He is able to not only do what He promises but also what you petition Him to do. 1 John 5:14&15 tells us if we believe He hears us we will have just what we have asked. Sickness, opportunity, goals, family, whatever the plight, ordeal, or needed direction, consider God.
