"Ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the
sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he
shall receive any thing of the Lord." James 1:6-7
"The world is full
of Christians who will not hold on to God's Word. They think it is an
innocent thing to sit at the table in the house of God and murmur
and complain, as if God doesn't hear. God does hear our murmurings! They
are accusations that He does not care, insinuations that He has let us
down.
God has warned me not to give voice to nagging doubts and fears—not
to my wife, not to friends, not to loved ones, not to colleagues. God says to
take those doubts to the cross and say, "Jesus, heal my unbelief. Take it
out."
Israel spent forty years in turmoil—backbiting, complaining, full
of bitterness and jealousy. What a miserable existence they led while
claiming to be the children of God, claiming to be holy. But that was their
testimony, not God's.
You must come to a place where you trust Him. If
you learn it now, the next time a crisis comes you will sing and shout with
praises to your Deliverer! Oh, the victory will be there but more
importantly, you will have dealt a deathblow to all doubt, fear and
unbelief.
Where do you start? By looking right into the mirror of God's
Word. Consider your words and actions over the last thirty days: Have you
been murmuring? Complaining? You may answer, "Yes, but I haven't been
murmuring at God!" Oh yes, you have! No matter where or to whom you complain,
it is all directed at God.
Every place I turn in my Bible, I see,
"Trust Me and I'll see you through. Just commit your ways to Me." What does
that require? Simply this: Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. You
ask, "But what if nothing happens?" That response reveals doubt and
fear.
Beloved, turn to God today and say, "Lord, I've done everything I
know how to do in my situation. I know there's nothing I can do to fix the
problem anyway. I'm going to trust You and wait for Your victory.”
Let
God make you a testimony to the world, a witness of His faithfulness.
Love Him with all your heart right now. Give Him all your problems, all your
faith and all your trust!"
